I agree wholeheartedly with you and ask you to bear with us as we find our own voice/perspective in the blogosphere. In hindsight, the posting on Google and IPOD should have been "Canadianized" (if that's a proper term) by referencing the efforts of Vanoc (which is the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver/Whistler) to protect the various trademarks associated with the Olympics - for example by aggressively going after local Vancouver/Whistler businesses that have engaged in ambush marketing, which Vanoc defines as adopting the words "Olympic", "Vancouver 2010" or anything similar after January 1998 - <a href="http://www.vancouver2010.com/en/LookVancouver2010/ProtectingBrand/OlympicBrandFAQs" rel="nofollow">see this</a>.
