Martini -

Your note is well reasoned and I don't think you are flippant about the issues relating to Google response - I might have responded to myself exactly as you did before Feb 2 and before reading the many support mails stating we have no penalty, yet clearly we have been relegated to "omitted results" for almost all relevant searches.

I also admit that *some* of this is "sour grapes" by me because our site was hit big time after Allegra (50k to 1k unique visits daily after years of high regard by Google and extensive addition/editing of information).

I'll stop whining as soon as legitimate competing sites come up ahead of us rather than those set up simply to display other's content.
