That's good to hear webfision.

This topic has received quite a bit of attention in the Google Webmaster Discussion Forum over the past week.

Funnily enough, if you browse through the topics form the past week, it seems that Google has removed the threads about the topic, but you can still access the disccusion directly if you have the URLs.

Needless to say, no one from Google has said a word about it.

Anyway, from the discussion, I have about 10 sites from both Australia and UK (including mine) that I shall be watching to see if they come back.

I am also now quite positive it is a canonical type issue as all the sites affected have links on their site to http://www.example.com/index.html or something like that.
