Like it.  Although I'm quite sure google correctly reacts to 30x and while
retaining the 'old' address in the index, it correctly spiders the content,
and when you click thru from your results, you go to the new url - google
has done this with links to my old URL (which has a sitewide Redirect on it)
for a while now.

I'm just wondering tho, why we're so desperate to retain google's
attention - with redirects in place, it will cope fine - it's not like our
livelihoods depend upon people searching for stuff via google.  Were we a
commercial outfit, I'd be more concerned about it tba :)  [dons bitchslap
