>>>For me, it is very humiliating that a site that has always been in the top ten for 5 years has now just disappeared. I feel as though I have been charged with a crime that I did not commit.

I feel the same way, sunflower. My site has become not only my site, but the daily readings of many Canadians who find the content useful. It's not only my content, as there are freelance journalists writing for the site, which I've rarely seen the articles anywhere else, as it's usually scrapers or other publications syndicating it. Most other sites syndicating it will even link back to the main site or article url.

Please note that I do not feature articles such as "10 tips for vacationing in Asia" or "How to make an online business profitable"... we're more of a "Paul Martin criticised for..." or "Air France flight crash lands in Toronto" kind of articles. How can Google really censor this type of stuff? Because it contains personal "alternative" commentary by the writers?

Like you, I also got a reply from Google about forwarding the matter to their engineers.
