I never said the language was slow. I said it can be used to do evil things. Your translation was that Google is somehow "evil" for not implicitly allowing your profit-making motives upon potentially evil exploits. So you got chastised by some security check for a technical error. Technical errors happen all the time. Get over it. BTW where, exactly, in this eBook do you do you cover security issues related to JavaScript? The contents of the book never touch Google Checkout Specifically, where do you cover what "touching" means, in a network's mind? .

Um? How do you think that the topic of the book I'm selling and the Google Checkout saga correlate at all? I'm really curious, because there's not even the tiniest link in the chain between the two totally disparate and unrelated things. I didn't get "chastised" by a "security check." They closed my account, disrupted my business, and stole my money. With no warning, communication, notice or appeal. They give no way to contact them and they tell you the money is gone for good. I got my account back only through this publicity campaign, which is, in my opinion, a good example of how Google's "Don't be evil" motto has been abandoned.

  Remember that you've garnered a lot of attention for this attack on Google in your "publicity campaign". Anybody who buys your book would be either a dolt or a schmutz, IMHO. Show us some links for your supposed JavaScript foo, and we can talk. Not third party links, dearie; let's see them on your server.

  One more thing: You're seeking "paid validation" as a writer through Google. Welcome to the club. Want to compare AdSense revenue? How much money do you really think you "lost" as a result of this error? How many people do you picture were lined up to purchase your book? Can't be much. You seem to intrinsically overvalue your self-input. True hackers hack for free. Anything that comes of it is icing on the cake. Even pennies are enormously welcome. Whining loudly is lame. You should really try to remember to keep a sense of humor when dealing with certain types of code like JavaScript. P.S. Thanks, Neil!
