Do you suppose that there are any e-mails laying about that show that Google 
conspired to cut off MSN's or Yahoo's air supply?  Google has established a 
weird kind of market wherein millions of advertisers pay a few pennies to 
get the attention of someone look for information about something that the 
advertiser can supply.  Granted that it turned into something big and 
popular, just like PC OS platforms did, but that is still no excuse for 
prosecuting the winner for working diligently to keep the copycats from 
trying to horn in on the deal.  They own that market because they created 
it.
