Maybe Brett? Was that the name of the guy who manages it and even makes ends
meet from advertisements? Was there not a certain member called googleguy
there? There could be something worth hiding, indeed.

I would love to find out if the number of indexed pages aligns with the
estimated numbers above. From experience, it should. This might explain
where a lot of capacity has gone wasted. Perhaps, let me venture to guess,
some Google boxes ran out of space (as the Register indicated) and, as a
consequence, coughed out some real pages from other Web sites, as part of
exception handling. Maybe Google's bug was after all the outcome of 'index
poisoning' (stupid crackers!) of a really large scale, rather than an
innocent mistake.
The above confirms that something has gone gone totally wrong and the
disappearance of the thread suggests that someone out there has a good
reason to hide the evidence.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Best wishes,
Roy
