This isn't about google, Im not sticking up for Google. Its about the fact that people are acting like this is the only tool/technology out there that modifies peoples content. If you want to outlaw ALL tools/technologies that alter a pages content then Im all for it, lets roundup the companies and go after it. But to single out google is rediculous, I listed in a previous post above that there are dozens of tools that surfers use to enhance their web experience that also alters a pages content, I don't see people trying to get those banned and getting all bent out of shape about those. Why is that?

Im suggesting that a surfer has the right to modify your content (remember, the surfer not another company) to enhance their reading of the content. If they want to bold certain sections, make some sections linkable, whatever it is. The surfer/reader has that right and will excersise that right. I can't even fathom how anyone is arguing this point as we all see that people use popup/ad/image blockers that take money directly from your pockets and modifies your content. But yet those are accepted, and lawful, but somehow the google toolbar is different?
