Has anyone thought of that? Or is that kind of thinking process only possible coming from a passive/aggressive female mind?

Yup; I actually had that fleeting thought when they first announced they were booting a bunch of ads out of the AdWords program because they no longer fit the business model. I couldn't see how they could kick out eBay, even though anyone with more common sense than a head of lettuce could tell the ads were worthless, and 200m is not to be sneezed at, but considering Google plays on the billion dollar playing field and keeps growing, well, there's such a thing as acceptable short term loss for long term gain.

But of course, that's just crazy talk, innit?
