How is it Google's responsibility to tell you how to manage your domain? The faq that Ikai linked to pointed out very clearly:
"If your domain registrar supports URL redirects, you can redirect from http://yourdomain.com to e.g http://www.yourdomain.com or http://appid.yourdomain.com."; That's as plain as day.. it is not Google's fault, or my fault that you don't know how to figure out how to configure this.
