I suspect that the activities here with the News postings, and possibly
the digests too, have made research much more easy for anyone looking to
build further investigative stories into these areas. Google is now
rich with appropriate links complete with summaries, a breadth of
information which otherwise could take weeks, if not months, to collect
- indeed, that is how long it _did_ take to collect.

I agree that repetition of related and important items is of great
value. Consider that the Microsoft marketing machine spends a huge
amount of time and money seeding pro-Microsoft stories wherever they
can, then this is a very good way indeed of countering that activity,
but unlike the Microsoft approach, it's all in the open, it's all
honest, and it's all visible.

Be assured that google makes this information available to all, wherever
they might be.
