We, the undersigned, do hereby petition Google, Incorporated for the fair and proper monitoring and deletion of discussions and discussion replies from the finance.google discussion boards. While the finance.google discussion boards are established for the discussion of specific stocks, we contend that the following activities have been occuring on these boards, and they need to be stopped -

1. Discussions pertinent and relevant to the stocks for which the boards have been established are being routinely deleted without just cause;

2. Board user-submitted advertisements for products and services not directly relating to the stocks for which the boards are established are being allowed to be remain;

3. Board users are being permitted to flood discussion boards with nonsensical posts, over and over again, and no action is being taken to remove those flooding posts or to ban the users placing those flooding posts;

4. Discussions containing vulgarity, racist remarks and statements which are blatantly derogatory towards other users of the finance.google boards are being allowed to remain on the boards.

We remind Google, Incorporated that the majority of persons using the services of finance.google do so with the intention of discussing financial investments, and that we have a lot of money riding on the information that we receive through discussion boards such as this. When Google removes genuine and valuable information useful to investors, you devaluate the services that you offer and compel investors to seek similar services elsewhere.
