Hi Pat,
I don't agree with you when you say:
To follow what Google is doing is like when you came home from school
and said "But, Mom, *everybody* is playing on the freeway." And you
know how far that got you.
It is the other way around, *everybody* is doing it this way, Google is
the one not playing on the freeway!
Os melhores cumprimentos,
Best regards,
