For the last couple of weeks there's been very little worth reading on AUE,
and now it seems to have dried up altogether.
Is it just my server, or have people just stopped posting?
It's difficult competing with the mighty flood of googloids from those
who can't imagine life without their wonderful google.
The name google is synonymous with crap in everything.
Crap earth photos compared with S.P.O.T.
A crap non-Usenet compliant newsclient. When you think that a tinpot,
inconsequential little zit-squeezing company like Demon UK can manage it
yet all Google can spew up is Google Groups which the whole world seems
to think is the greatest thing since sliced golf slots and collecting
1/6d each for lost balls from the pro.
A crap search motor that directs hapless users to companies that pay
Google slush money.
Do you have even the slightest evidence for such a charge? I take it
you're not referring to the "Sponsored links" section, because if you
are, those users you call "hapless" are at best extremely naive and at
worst rather stupid.
One of the reasons I chose Google as a search engine (this was long
before Google Groups archive existed) was precisely because the list of
hits shown was *not* influenced by someone paying the owner of the
search engine. Sponsored links, which came later, are clearly marked.
Of course, if you hate Google so much, you're probably not reading
this...
A crap book-pirating scam. They've even bribed a judge to say in effect
that it's fine for Google to infringe copyright if they so wish. The
laws and conventions of the world don't apply to Google.
"Bribed" a judge? Did a judge decide a case before him based upon money
Google slipped him under the table? If so, then you should be
complaining somewhere other than a Usenet newsgroup!
There seems to be an aue law which states aue threads are invalid unless
they're littered with Googloids like rabbit droppings on Duncton Down.
So how about a Googloid ruling on whether or not I should refer to
rabbits in the above sentence?
