Kudos to Google!  I am always heartened when a web site takes time to personally respond to an email message.  On Friday, 22 December 2000, I wrote the following note to suggestions@google.com with the subject “Amusing”:

If one calls up [http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.google.com], one sees the following message:

“This is Google’s cache of http://www.google.com/. [...] Google is not affiliated with the authors of this page nor responsible for its content.”

Perhaps a special-case exception is in order here? :^)

Love your search engine; you have broken my AltaVista ties permanently.

Today I received this pleasant note:

Thanks for the praise - We love hearing from our users!

You are right about the cached page . . . this is too funny.
