Does anyone else think that its a bit odd that if it were simply
"DNS problems" that a redirect for www.google.com would end up

Seems more than simple "DNS problems" to me.

I hate being played like an idiot....
I really like Google. I like what they do. But lately, their security team is a joke. I had a problem with their POP Gmail service and the advise I got from their Gmail team was to turn off my CA EZ antivirus and my ZApro firewall and to try again and see if the problem repeats itself. For a moment I thought it was an April 1st joke.

When playing with Gmail or Ggroups - try to find a link to report abuse or a security problem (yes - one exists - but not one that is easy to find from Gmail or Ggroups).

I attribute it to size - when one gets big enough - one truly believes that gravity is affected by your company. Unless Google shapes up, they will quickly find out what happens to large, cumbersome, and clueless companies.
