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.
