Subject: Introducing the Google Webmaster Help Bionic Posters
Hi everybody!

One of the great things about this group is the community that has
fostered its growth over the past years. We're nearly at 30K users--
wow! Our community is lucky enough to have a number of users who give
so much of their time to help others and never tire of helping with
even the simplest question. They are online when everyone else is
asleep, catching up, helping out, solving puzzles and flagging spam.

The Google Webmaster Help Bionic Posters program is our way of
recognizing the efforts of those users who, over the last few months,
have posted especially often and who are particularly Googley--
friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We're adding a special page to
highlight our Bionic Posters, and will be sending out some goodies as
a token of our appreciation, woohoo! We will be regularly revisiting
the Bionic Posters list and picking new members as we notice your
extraordinary help--we'd love to see YOUR name on the list as well!

http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Webmaster_Help/web/google-webma...

The Google Webmaster Help Bionic Posters for this round are:

** webado (Christina) ** Phil Payne ** cass-hacks (Craig) **
abracadabra (Tim) ** Aaron Pratt ** Cristina ** Robbo (Vince) ** JLH
(John) ** dockarl (Matt) ** IceGiant (Sasch) ** MrGamma (James) and
last but certainly not least, seo101 **

We'd also like to give a mention to Sebastian, who's been an
exceptional help from the very start, over 2.5 years ago. It's great
to see people stay active for so long. Thanks for being with us over
the months. And we'd like to recognize Autocrat, who's stepped up and
given a lot of solid advice in 2008 and is our #2 top poster this
month. Thanks, Autocrat--you may be a serious contender for the next
round of Bionic Posters!

Feel free to join in on our celebration -- do you have any stories
about how these folks have helped you change your site?

John

That's cool to do this. Not to mention the huge number of posts. Not
bad at all for that amount of time. Maybe some t-shirts are in order?
"Google Master Poster's"?

You have every reason to be chuffed... you've really stepped into the
breach extremely well.

Were you hanging around for a while before you started posting or did
you only just find the place recently?

The "bionic posters" link is dead, says "The page you navigated to
does not exist", yep.

As I said before, hope my wife "the librarian" doesn't see this or
this "stay home dad" will be in big trouble! I am not sure spending so
much time in here is a good thing! ;-)

Hey!

I just got it in Firefox!

It won't come up in IE7 no matter how many times I refresh it.

Curious!

First of all, the mention is appreciated!

I do wish though that those who had been heavy contributors around the
time I first started here, were still here both to offer the same
level of help they provided that helped me learn what I "know" but
also, to receive the recognition that they would have deserved.

Oh well, their loss.  :-()

Actually, it is all our loss but shit happens, people come, people go.

It works on and off for me in whatever browser I try it in.  :-(

The odd thing is though that when the load fails, the initial request
returns a "200", which I am assuming is for the error page and not the
initial request.  But looking at the source of the page on which the
error is mentioned, I can see the Google Analytics script containing
what appears to be the correct URL.

Repeatedly refreshing the page shows an error about as often as
showing the correct page.

I did notice though that this is the first time, in memory, that I've
seen a user-friendly URL used, i.e. "group/Google_Webmaster_Help/web/
google-webmaster-help-bionic-posters" so maybe it is something in the
redirect causing it?

I still can't display it via the link.

Now even weirder, for me using FF2
I get a page title FAQs - Start here!
with content:
The page you navigated to does not exist.

And the same with IE7.

Oh well, Thanks for the image link JLH.
At least I get a look see.

Thank you, that's a wonderful idea! And thanks for the mention,
although I wasn't able to contribute much recently due to various
problems with my time management. You forgot to tell that you were an
exceptional help for questioners from the very beginning in June 2005,
which is documented in tons and tons of awesome posts. I vote for a
mention of SuperMu as the most bionic group member!
