The messages aren't gone, but the Google Groups indices are getting
corrupted. And there's nobody at Google that seems to care about reports
about the problems.

There are a lot of messages that I can find by message-id but not by
keywords, for instance. Doing searches by keyword often fails completely.

As far as I can tell, google uses the Google Groups operation as a dumping
ground for their less competent employees... if indeed they actually have
any employees there at all and aren't just letting everything run on automatic.
