 Google seems to have a philosophy of tinkering
 with stuff, getting things to a point where they kinda work, but have issues
 - then they get bored and move on to the next thing and can't be bothered
 with fixing the lingering problems.

I agree - Google hasn't figured out scale yet. After all they deal with what
a few 10's of searches and emails a day...

Some times I wish there would be some one who actually did what Chris is
referring to. Coming back in a few hours to email and finding out the top
posts are
- where are all my posts? well if none of them made it here then this one
wouldn't as well. if this one did then maybe others did as well...
- i am trying to do something that is well documented for a change. i am too
busy to read, so here let me ask the collective wisdom to solve it for me...
- i have screwed up by actually doing something before reading. now let me
find out if any one here can read logcat output because I sure as hell can
only paste it...

 It's hard to believe that Google cannot handle a few tens of text
 posts everyday.

 Notoriously unreliable?? has anyone been put to task to fix it? This
 does not seem to be a very hard problem for a technology company like
 google.

 the dog ate your messages is a much better excuse.

   Not really. I found your post in my email archive. I suggest you use
 your
   email to read from and post to this group. The web interface is
 notoriously
   unreliable.
 
   To OP - if you do this, be advised that your messages will not be
 relayed
   back to you over email. You will only see replies, if any.

I'm not sure how others keep track, but I have an RSS feed for all the
Android Groups so I just scan through that to find posts I want to take part
in, and to see when responses have been posted. If you don't want to track
the whole group just track your own question, again, use the GMail
interface. Find your original email and star it or something, then you can
easily track when people have replied to your question.

There are a lot of things that one would expect Google to be able to do well
at which they fail miserably (Market Search comes to mind).

Probably not. It's not that it's a hard problem, it's probably more that
it's not interesting. Google seems to have a philosophy of tinkering
with stuff, getting things to a point where they kinda work, but have issues
- then they get bored and move on to the next thing and can't be bothered
with fixing the lingering problems.

I'd agree with that.. often the web takes AGES to actually record the
post. (he says.. typing into the web interface)
