Dave:
You may remember, you helped me as an outside expert, reviewing
Lumera's wi-max antennas. I run an objective small cap equity
research service called Diligence.
Well, one of the small companies I cover is Autonomy -- an internet
search service that rivals Google. But ever since I wrote that
Autonomy is a better investment than Google, I've had no end of grief
from my Google e-mail account.
For starters, I got a 24 hour freeze on my account, for "unauthorized
activity." Then, my outgoing g-mails were selectively censored. And
now, my editior's IN-COMING g-mails are being censored, if they come
from my company server.
Apparently, Google is black-listing me and everything associated with
my business. Ironic, since Google's company motto is "play nice."
What's scary is, Google presents itself as a sort of technocrat's
nirvanna: where all the software works, all the time. But if you
point out problems with Google, you get erased.
You're welcome to post this to "interesting people." I figure, the
difference between a martyr and a homocide is the message of your
absence.
