Much Ado About Nothing

I'm really flattered about all of the press my post about a msn crawling
Google's results. However, the data I presented was speculative at best.
The real intent of the post was to glean the truth based on feedback from
my readers and to that end it was a success. Reading the comments on my own
site as well as slashdot, WebMasterWorld, searchenginewatch, seroundtable,
and webproworld have brought out the plausible explanations of the real
reason Microsoft's new search results looked similar to Google's and why
their bot was fetching urls at a higher than normal rate for pages that
have been deleted from web servers for a good amount of time.
Thanks for everyone's input, the good, the bad and the ugly. I think this
proves that blogs can separate the wheat from the chaff come threshing
time.

I think this is especially noteworthy since MSNDude and GoogleGuy discussed it amongst themselves and not an ill word was spoken. Oh my, what a day!
