I'm about to say something patently naive but I say it to raise a

Shows up third after the main "idunce" searches, since Google Sitemaps
Group tends to be ranked fairly high and shows up in Google search
results.

So placing a keyword/URL etc. in a sitemap groups email *does* have the
effect of making the post and the URI appear fairly high (i.e., on the
first search page of Google). Make of it what you will.

...as for determining intention, no one can truly know what Prash
intends, perhaps not even Prash...

"The advantages of publicity are low cost, and credibility
(particularly if the publicity is aired in between news stories like on
evening TV news casts). New technologies such as ***weblogs***, web
cameras, web affiliates, and convergence (phone-camera posting of
pictures and videos) to websites) are changing the cost-structure."

Daniel, this is definitely *not* another dead horse to beat.
It's a dead parrot!

"Mr. Praline: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad
enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I
purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack
of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a
prolonged squawk.

Owner: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords."
" Mr. Praline: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more!
He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a
stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to
the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are
now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled
off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir
invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!! "

Help me up!"
