Windows Vista / death LMAO Richard. So true. Great article btw. So much simpler than StomperNet's version. And thanks for pointing out the importance of logging out of your Google account before doing your research. I remember thinking my SEO was paying off so well that I must have been a natural, only to discover I was nowhere when not logged in to gmail? Go figure, lol. Nobody ever thinks to tell folks the obvious, so thanks again for pointing it out. Susan ie. Windows Vista / death

I did this :- 1) Cold 2) Pasting the words from a document with a clear astronomical vector (assuming LSA) I would have expected LSA to have just given me massive Main Sequence stars on the "paste" search. In fact "Blue Giant" is a music group and the results were the same whether I searched cold or pasted. I think this is highly significant. Look in my website and click on "Hutter", there are some pretty trenchant criticisms of Google Translate. No kind of LSA is apparent. At one point Red Dwarfs were translated as ponies! - Ian Parker My experience is of searching for “Blue Giant”. I did this :-
