"We enjoy celebrating holidays at Google and are sorry if we missed one that's special to you. As you may imagine, it's difficult for us to choose which events to celebrate on our site. We have a long list of holidays that we'd like to celebrate in the future. We have to balance this rotating calendar with the need to maintain the consistency of the Google homepage. Some holidays that we haven't celebrated in the past will be rotated into our holiday doodles for future years. We try to be sensitive that a doodle is not the most appropriate way to recognize certain events, especially those that are more somber in nature. " So presumably somber in nature would include Sept 11, the London bus bombings, the IRA bombing Manchester or Enniskillen, Tienanmen square, Hiroshima, and so on. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
