rohitj, webmasterworld is one of those sites that get special treatment - just like BMW when they were banned for a few days.

It is not good press for a major search engine to not index the major sites on the web - e.g. CNN or the biggest webmaster websites like webmasterworld or searchenginewatch.

These guys are bulletproof, just - and Brett knows that, so does Matt, Googleguy and Danny Sullivan and friends. When you become important to Webmasters you become important full stop. In my opinion thats the way it should be.

However, with all the extreme problems webmasters have faced during this several month Google debacle, not once has Brett or Danny faced Google up with this. And that is just the way life is.
