Dude that IS NOT THE CASE with most people and sure's hell is not the
case in my......well, case.  You are SO LUCKY if you're seeing that
with your URL's!  I can search for all my search phrases and (at
**BEST**) see my MINOR page(s) showing up INSTEAD, pages that NO ONE
would ever click on in the SERP's because they don't even have the
freakin' PRODUCT in the SERP's snip, and they are almost NON RELEVANT
to the search!  Usually my page(s) won't even show up AT ALL!!  Then I
have to go to page 10, then 20, then 30, etc., all the way to the VERY
END of the go*damn results then click that "line from hell": "In order
to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries
very similar to the X already displayed. If you like, you can repeat
the search with the omitted results included."

Supplemental is supposed to be separate, so I don't see how you're
seeing any of your pages LABELED "supplemental result" mixed in the
main index's results.  I'm not saying you're not, I believe you, I just
don't comprehend HOW.  Are you SURE what you're seeing is labeled as
"supplemental result"?

That's a lot of BS one would have to go through isn't it, just to be
POSSIBLY, MAYBE, indexed by "the Google God"!  Site owners are just
going to give up, and that's going to leave G with NO users eventually
because word will, and IS getting out, that they are NOT indexing
CORRECTLY what they SHOULD be indexing and users are going to start
dropping them like soiled diaper.  It used to be the OTHER SE's could
learn a lot from G.  Now, it's GOOGLE that could learn a lot from the
OTHER SE's!
