By the way, there is no need to say "Google archives,"
since just about everyone in Usenet knows what the
Google Nova is.
Anyway, you would have to ask Dr. Chudov about something
like that. I refuse to worry about such things, because it is
far too big a mathematical question for anyone who used to
be the little retarded kid down the block before he sort of fell
into the net and found there was a newsgroup called
alt.genius.bill-palmer.
All I know is this: If you add up all the references to Bill
Palmer (that is, the net-entity, not the Apple computer guy
or the Texas magician, etc.), then about ten percent of
maybe 750,000 GEMS for "Palmer" refer to the Usenet
Bill Palmer, which in itself is rather interesting since there
are several hundred thousand Palmers in various nations.
with Usenet access. Again, that is when you google for
"Palmer," not "Bill Palmer."
As for "Bill Palmer" (one you google for the two words
in quotes) most of the GEMS refer to the same Bill Palmer,
at least 99 percent of them. Then, you have the "wilhelps,"
"palmjobs," "Flame Giants," "Twinkles, the alt.genius.dwarf,"
the references to the newsgroup alt.genius.bill-palmer,
the mentions of the cheap imitation Bill Palmer newsgroups,
and all the citations of my famous stand-alone works, far too
numerous to name in this short post, even if there was a newbie
or two out there in the darkened peanut gallery who could not
come up with a few dozen of those names right of the top of
his or her head. That's not even getting into hallmark
expressions, sigs, and nonce words and net culture terms
that I coined.
So I really can't worry about people nibbling around the
edges of the Google Nova...It is certainly possible it has
been under attack by hackers, but actually Google has
been doing quite a bit of rearranging. I have noticed
at times that things will unavailable and then a couple
of weeks later be available again. No, I don't pull any
of my own postings.
People have to know what they are doing when
they try to perfom advanced Google searches. I have
had people complain that they could not find a stand alone
of mine, and I have gone right to Google and found it
immediately.
We saw Google-incompetence run amok a couple of
weeks back in the case of the nitwit who adsurdly claimed
Google-proof that I had only started 200 long threads
since I have been in Usenet. Shucks, I have often
started that many long threads before breakfast,
just because there was lot on the plate that day!
Well, I was exaggerating slightly there, but it is a
fact that I can think of a well over a dozen single
newsgroups right off the top of my head in which I
started over 200 long threads, and I am not even
talking about crossposting there, since there are
groups that I rarely even crosspost in.
So is the Google Nova disappearing? I rather suspect
it is not, but I don't plan to stay awake nights worrying about
it As of this post, I have not even gotten around to
going over there and researching the matter...
