Yeah, that was an excellent read...

But he admitted in a follow-up piece that if he hadn't been who he was and
hadn't been able to face-to-face with people he did (and also in part
because of who his wife was and the negative publicity he gave them) he
would have never succeeded on her behalf.

Also what it pointed out is/was at that time, ALL OF THIS STUFF that was
supposedly deleted never was and that was the issue I was raising.  If the
66% are doing this because they're angry about the changes Google is making
they need to understand a few things:

- You can place expectations on free services
- If they have Terms of Service, they're THEIR TOS, not yours
- Stuff on the Interwebs seldom, if EVER, goes away unless you DON'T want
it to
