That seems a sad state of affairs. Who are these other "Googlers"

I doubt he has a job at all.

The thing was hopelessly broken when I first stumbled into it.
Interface is awful, etc. But this is par for the course for Google
sites. What is indefensible is the outrageous incompetence
demonstrated in your scripts. I remember trying to talk to the Google
Code "team" and they were beyond clueless. Then there is GMail,
Google Groups, etc. Seems odd that a company this big can't find
capable programmers.

Do me a favor. Look at your calendar. It is almost 2009. Your
developers are stuck in 1998. The UA string is meaningless.

Mostly. Still a black eye for your developers though (and they are
looking pretty punch-drunk at this juncture.)
