This is irc conversation of what my Inkomi contacts said regarding this post:

(Names changed...hell these guys won't even talk to me,
only to my husband..and that is when they choose to.)
NICK_1 and N3 are with the search engine end of it. (not sure what they do) nick_2 is a programmer for Inktomi, but not nec. with the search engine part.
============

15:00 <NICK_1> as far as addurl goes: it's true that it's mostly congested with spammers

15:00 <NICK_1> BUT, addurl is pretty useless to begin with, because we already make a webmap and crawl most of it anyway

15:00 <nick_2> yeah; the more interesting thing in that posting was the technical department walkout.

15:01 <NICK_1> The "paid inclusion" program mentioned on that page will replace the current "free" system and will just mean we refresh those urls more often. It WONT change the relevance computations.

16:12 <nick_2> oh yeah, definitive answer was there was no walk out, no idea about it.

16:12 <N3> heh, bunch of drivel on there

16:18 <N3> this is all very humorous in that most of it is false

=====================
Hope this helps...although I don't think it will.
