Three questions

Loverock, you've flooded these poor discussion boards for several years now with hate and derision. I ask you these simple questions:

1. By what authority do you speak of the impending doom and downfall of Google? Authority can be had by two routes; either it can be delegated (i.e. Microsoft pays you to write regarding Google's destruction and supplies you with information that you constantly choose to withhold) or it can be earned (i.e. expertise gained through study, experience and previous success/failure.)*

2. What is the basis of your accusation that Google lacks a business plan? While their plan is very flexible and non-specific, they have a detailed outline of their company goals and objectives on their website.**

3. How are advertising being "dead" (not exactly an informed statement since Internet advertising revenues (in the U.S.) for the first six months of 2007 were nearly $10 billion***) and Google's impending death opposites? Those would be correlating numbers that move in tandem--not opposite directions.

Please limit your response to substantiated facts (with links); I'm curious.
