Google says deleting old pages to bamboozle Search is "not a thing!" as CNET erases its history. The tech news site removed thousands of old articles in a recent bid to appease Google and improve its performance in search results over the past few months.

          At least deleted_by_author makes for a neat comment on how nobody is obliged to host their content until the end of time. Sure, people can delete away, but it leaves a frustrating gap some times. :)
