    Oh Dear: They're planning more meddling...

    Tessa Jowell, the Culture Secretary, is in discussions with the Home Office and Department of Trade and Industry to introduce legislation to counter reselling tickets at astronomical prices.

    here is an idea

    > I wonder what else thay can think of banning ?

    Ban lazy people who can't be arsed to copy/paste the article?

    Do you have any idea Milan about optimisations? Did it not occur to you that for ever poster there are many more readers, so its much more efficiently for just one person, ie original posters, to copy/paste article rather than make others click on link, wait for it to download etc?

          Re: here is an idea

          is Tessa (my sone goes to a private school) Jowell suggesting that the government should impose a cap on ticket prices ?

          and where would it end, I can see it now...

          shirts can cost no more than x

          watches can cost no more than y

          all in the interests of fairness.

          Milan.

            There are plenty of sites out there, why should your site be any better than others? I am pretty sure it is not, because crawler now gets sites that were linked to. Consequently it is clear that nobody links to you :lol

                    I still use Google, but will soon use "dog-food", switch to my own search engine. Google is definately getting broken.
