====================================
From: "Gary Britt" <zotu@nospamforme.com>

Interesting link.  I don't quite get the basis for these anti-googles to be all
upset that google has a search engine and google makes money off of it via ads.
 On the other hand the stuff about the way Firefox ties with google
searches/ads and doesn't have a way to turn it off, if one so wanted, does
bother me a bit.
