I think it fair that it be "my service", i.e., I brought the thing hear, added a few 'straws' to the thread and now receive the subscription-via-email "post" as I posted above...
What gives?
Is this a hoax? A marketing ploy? A "please read us, only we tell the truth" attempt at building a data-base?
I will yell you my gut reaction...:
The "engineer" at Google was indeed conducting a data base, and this seems like a slightly-new (or better yet, recently-ironed old) wrinkle on a "honeypot en masse".
By putting 2+2 together (is my math here good, folks?) and seeing nearly-simultaenous articles on other matters "cyber" [all also posted here] such as the information that the Federal Reserve system is watching us online and the other very-obviously-going-on attempts at perception cluttering (they call it "management"), I think the "engineer" brought down a visible web site in seemingly benign fashion as a warning shot (along with Obamian criticsms of journalists) that there is a functional system in place that can -- at will -- shut down [or worse] one or more links, web sites, means of communication, and receiving networks.
Or perhaps I've been looking at things too long and need to see someone about my vision.
