They'll be answered in "more than weeks and less than months"

Please specify less than months. Do you mean 2 months or more? ;)

Brett compiled them in less than 10 minutes, GooglyGuy answered them in less than an hour.....the lawyers will approve the answers in more than days and less than years;)

But all joking aside, I think we will see them by Monday night at the latest. BT said GG needed a week (to get them approved I assume).:)

tagaki, in fact the 10 answers will be spread over the 9 data centers in a scaleable way, starting with sj.

Then the answers will be moved around, dancing between centres, so that every question receives a different answer until things settle. Sometimes the same question will receive up to 9 different answers during this dance period - it depends when you ask the question, and which DNS is used.

In this context, DNS = "Deliberately Not Saying..."

Finally, cross references will be added to the answers, spam removed and the results presented on a single page containing 10 results.

Or failing that, we wait until the moderator gets out of bed in the morning and answers the thread with facts rather than fiction!

Derek,

That was the best reading I've seen in some time! :)

The last post reads

...collating questions for submission and we'll go for there in about a week.

Don't know if it's the week to collate or to get the answers, but the collating had to have been time-consuming, and I'd imagine reading through and getting the answers ready is also time-consuming.

GoogleGuy did say in a post that he'd be a little scarce around here while going through and reading the questions and getting the answers ready - which sounds like no small task.

Great posts Derek, right on and consistent with the flavor of our WebmasterWorld Google culture. Love them, had a good laugh over morning coffee.

Is there a chance we can at least see the top 10 questions that Brett chose and submitted - before they get answered by GG?

DerekH very good Sense of Humour :)

Yes and he was Scarce for a while around here which lead me to believe he will come with answers. But then he has started posting last day or two. Maybe he is also addicted to WW :)

Maybe we need to add some kind of 'Weight Watchers' forum for members who are addicted to WW.

No! but on a serious note it taking way too long to get them approved - I am tired waiting for them.

Brett, please stay in touch.

It’s almost Thursday here in India and now I really feel that we are fooled by Brett by asking us to post questions & making us follow a thread, which had only questions.

Or was it a trick just to find out what’s the actually public opinion about the whole Dominic stuff?

Whatever it is I hope that I am wrong and this not just any other gimmick.

Shaadi, forgive me for saying that your comment is a bit churlish.

How, exactly, were you forced/connived into following a thread? Furthermore, it's not Brett who's answering the questions, but GG, in his own time, it would seem.

This was a seized at chance to get 'close to the metal', one that seems to have surprised even Brett in terms of response, and it'll take as long as it'll takes.

Waddya want, already?

Grmbl!

How could I have missed missed that one - oh yeah, I've been on holiday.

Hope to see the 10 chosen questions. Hope even more to have a second round :)
