COMMENTS: 1. GOOGLE uses an algorithm based on most frequently visited sites. There is nothing anti-Semitic about the fact that they list the site, although I can perhaps guess that some automated programs could be used by somebody outside the GOOGLE organization to inflate the number of times this site is visited.
Your question implies hand-editing of sites. The only case in which sites are hand-edited are those PAID/SPONSORED sites listed on the right hand side of the page and clearly identified as such. When I popped up GOOGLE, I saw the note: "Searching 4,285,199,774 web pages." This can hardly be done by hand! 2. I am amused by the reference to "the Google executives" since one of the founders, Larry Page, is the son of my late colleague, Professor Carl Page. Hope this helps. _________________________________________________ Dr. Don Weinshank Professor Emeritus Comp.
