Finally! The penny has dropped! You have realised what is going
on. We are all Google employees. And we are watching you Luigi.

I wrote "many of you" not "all of you".
You wrote so much about Google and so little about other search engines to
begin with...
For example how many of you have talked about Russian search engines?
How many about Japanese search engines?
How many about Chinese search engines?
What about Estonian, Finnish and Hungarian search engines?
Or perhaps some local search engine in Tasmania?
But we are international, aren´t we?
And there are probably some Japanese and Chinese and Russians writing in
these NGs as well, aren´t they?
So, why not talking about other SE as well?
About me now.
No matter who you are why are you watching just me?

Sorry, a slip on my part. Let me re-pharse:

To see how you are going in the Google family. We worry about
you, what ranking you have, how happy you are with the service
etc. We don't mean to invade your privacy at all. We just care
for you and want the best for you.

Yours sincerely

Do you mean "rephrase", perhaps?

It sounds nice but it does not explain, yet, why you are watching just
me...

Why do you use the nickname "dorayme"?
Or if it is not a nickname, what is it then?

Are you not allowed by Google to use your own name when you write on NGs,
then or is it your personal choice not to do so?

You have been chosen at random to be a study from among those who
are highly security minded, will have no one else in their men's
business. Like when ethnologists go out and put a transmitter on
a bird's leg to track it to see where it goes and so to build up
a picture about such birds. You are the little lucky tweetie on
this occasion.

I will let you into a little secret Luigi, my real name is a
cruel trick by my father. He named me after a long boring raving
essay he wrote whilst quite drunk, more than 10,000 words. Do you
blame me for choosing something a bit more succinct?

You must be an old C programmer? C actually requires an simi-colon
after each statement.

As does PHP, Perl, ...

You would show your pedanties in public? <wow!> Oh wait. Pedantries.

And those that are not Google employees are still watching Luigi,
albeit on an amateur basis.

Why do they do that then?
Would they have watched me even if they had met in person?
(Can you keep a secret?
I met someone a while ago.... When I saw her,
I said "hej" and I called her name, so she turned towards me and as soon as
she realized that it was me she seemed to be very happy indeed..... I felt
happy as well.....when I noticed how she had reacted....
When I met her the following time, she did not smile when I said "hej".
I do not know why, yet)

 

[dorayme]

Why do they do that then?

Your business is a bellwether for all the one-man businesses in
the world and as such, is very important.

Would they have watched me even if they had met in person?

They might or might not, depending on who they are. The amateurs
are likely to give up more easily.

(Can you keep a secret?

Not really I'm afraid...

Too much of a good thing? Not the same thrilling surprise the
second time around?

But sorry, Luigi, I can't stop, must go and gossip, and tell
others about this...

GULP!
Just to mention one thing
the website https://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com
which is the main website of my one-man business
was criticized very hardly in this NG until not long ago.
Apart from that how come that the page
https://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/it/svezia.html is not even among top ten
at Google when you people are working at Google (other search engines rank
it among top 10 for "la Svezia)
if you consider (why on earth then?) my business a bellwether for all the
one-man businesses in the world.
In any case, now a part of this website is for registered users, so one-man
businesses in the world are welcome to send letters or fax, when they want
to get in touch for the first time...

They might or might not, depending on who they are. The amateurs
are likely to give up more easily.

It depends on what we are talking about.

Not really I'm afraid...

Well, I was happy but surprised myself when she reacted that way, the first
time...
perhaps she was surprised that I had remembered her name, perhaps she had
visited the website..
(but again, how good or bad it is for most users, actually)
I also thought that under the circumstances it would have been difficult to
talk to her that time...
so, I went on walking....

But sorry, Luigi, I can't stop, must go and gossip, and tell
others about this...

I guess that it is what happened..(people gossiping)
..the point is that I do not know who and what the others said about what had
happened...
But yes, I am under the impression that people might have gossiped...

Ah but you disengaged the stylesheet for a while. You jumped up
in the rankings then.

if you consider (why on earth then?) my business a bellwether for all the
one-man businesses in the world.

It is exactly because you are not in the top ten, that you are a
bellwether. Most businesses are not in the top ten. It is hard to
know why, out of millions of businesses, they are mostly not in
the top ten, but it does seem to be some sort of mysterious rule.
Who knows?

talk to her that time...

The other possibility is this: at the time she smiled, you had
the stylesheet turned on, the other time, you had it back on thus
wiping the smile of her face because she felt the same way as
me...

Which one?

in the rankings then.

bellwether. Most businesses are not in the top ten.

So if most of them are not, why should mine be a bellwether and not another?

The other possibility is this: at the time she smiled, you had
the stylesheet turned on, the other time, you had it back on thus
wiping the smile of her face because she felt the same way as

Could you explain it further, please?

 

[dorayme]

Could you explain it further, please?

Look at your how your post appears in my newsreader. Yours is
about the only one that looks so disorganised. It may be that
your setting is very difficult for my newsreader? You may have to
get Jonathan to advise you? Or me?

What does that have to do with what I had written before or with the
website?

 

[Luigi Donatello Asero]

I will let you into a little secret Luigi, my real name is a
cruel trick by my father. He named me after a long boring raving
essay he wrote whilst quite drunk, more than 10,000 words. Do you
blame me for choosing something a bit more succinct?

You could have written your real name and that you want others to use your
nickname, instead.
As far as I know, you did not do that.

It makes it difficult to have a smooth off topic conversation.
Smoothness is as important as freedom on Saturday

Luigi, are you not taking me seriously? Do you really want me to
show you the whole mad essay?
