Sure. Let's not start enumerating all the ways that Google are unethical, because I am not sure how well Dang and the team have hardened $max_post_length against buffer overflows.

> Just because people don't want to part with their cash doesn't make it unethical to demand it in exchange for goods or services, does it?

I don't think I said or even implied that. There are many ways to provide value and run a good business. And "cash"! I'm probably one of the biggest advocates of that around here :)

> I figure a lot of this seemingly contradictory behaviour is out there for plausible deniability when they go before the judge. "No, see we weren't trying to force people into a certain product by leveraging our majority market position. We're trying to give them options!"

That, very much. So, in Cantor's style, let's add dishonesty to the infinite set of all ways Google are unethical :)
