As far as I know I've never had any communications at all with Google. If they sent me an email solicitation, it probably ended up in the recycle bin along with the hundreds of other unread spam email messages I receive daily.

And yes, we have made many changes to our filing systems over the years. And there was a period of several months while we were transferring from one system to another and changing the software from flat file to database while we were at it, that the archives were inaccessible to all, including the search engines. Some of the search engines may have dropped their indexing of our inaccessible files during that period, but I have no way of knowing for certain. All I can say is, I never requested that anyone drop their indexing of our files.

It looks like this thread has an opus factor of two so far.
