Sometimes facing the truth can be ugly. I researched this question, but not through Google because the ‘ugly truth’ about Google has come to light; censorship and giving you an answer they chose to provide you. Some of the articles I read were filled with mumble jumble, no facts, but plenty of opinions. Get rid ...
