(Reviewing our relationship with G****e in light of evidence from an unexpected source, further thoughts on comments received a couple of weeks ago, and concluding that it all comes back to a fair distribution of resources.) There's also a change to the site's README file.

(More: Why we don't read the Churner Prize, why websearches are so utterly rubbish, and the core problem: G****e is imbued, from tip to toe, with an unshakeable arrogance of its own adequacy.)
