I almost always find Google unresponsive beyond the message their bot
sends. I
look at the headers to find the originating IP; it's not always visible,
and
sometimes it's not traceable, but if I can identify it *that's* where I
send my
complaint. I may include Google as a second party, but I don't put much
faith
in them.
