Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yandex is Russia's Google, more or less.

Since I work at Google these days maybe I can poke someone. Can you give me a link to the form you're filling out?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, WEIRD. You're not one of the three Buffistas I knew worked there. Why do so many of us?

Anyway, this time it took! I have no idea if saying alt.net=b.org made a difference, but now I'm getting this:

Status of the latest badware review for this site: A review for this site has finished. The site was found clean. The badware warnings from web search are being removed. Please note that it can take some time for this change to propagate.

under the malware warning

I really don't like how hard Google works to keep me safe--I can't work out if I can get to an images result page (where they show you the image on top of the page?) for a page they deem infected. They print the URL, but there doesn't seem to be an option for "Yeah, I know, I'm gonna bareback it anyway, do what you'd normally do."

Because the food is so good. Well, that's my reason anyway.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Does that make Google our biggest Buffista employer, more than Microsoft or JPL?

I suspect the biggest employer is the United States...

BTW, I think the no-malware notice has finally propogated: the alt site is off the blacklist.

You were still having problems when I posted in Press?
