[spectre] GWEI - Google Will Eat Itself - Solidarity Link Action

[Alan J Munro]

Dear Hans, Geert, etc,
I'm afraid to tell you you're wrong. I just searched Google Will Eat  
Itself on Google and it's there as the first hit- as well as pages of  
blog entries etc etc.

What do you mean by it being 'censored' and how do you account for  
GWEI's availability on Google?
