>> Google's mantra is "do no evil" and MONEY is the root of all evil, draw your own conclusions.

Lets not be be sensationalist here - we all know woman are the real root ;). Or in serious, as you puruse money, you must be evil incarnate!

Actually, I do believe that scrapers are a big problem. From my own research, google is all about automation - intelligent algorithms parsing information and making intelligent decisions. Manually modifying results just seems the anti-thesis of what google is [has?] been trying to accomplish. And for those that read baked's [excellent] post on button pushing, you can ban one site, but another 50 will spring up to replace it.

>> And for all you google snitches out there who are working 9-5 and hating on us real players, when you get mad from now on and want to "tell" on people and "cry" becouse you can't do what other can, just think about this...

>> You use windows right? well they are a doing all kinds of nasty things yet you still use them. The same goes for alot of big companies..

I see the internet thugs are slowly taking on google :). Remember friends - using slang will make you appear more cool than you really are. Otoh, if you need to justify what you do (claiming something as yours when it really isn't in any way whatsoever) by stating its okay because others do it ... well shucks, surely you can blame video games and terrorists in that post too?
