HOW COME YOU haven't yet completely shut down the public            
newsgroup archives? As anyone can plainly see, users can                
STILL access the uncensored archives through the foreign-

Some weeks ago I mentioned that Google was sensitive to upper/lowercase
search expressions in a bad way. Google gave back different results

Thousands of website bulletin boards have been defaced by a virus that
