So much, that they only wanted to put a link to their privacy statement on the homepage if they could remove another word (they ended up replacing the ‘Google’ in ©2008 - Google). How the hell did they find room for an entire <em>sentence</em>? ^^ Weren’t they incredibly stuck up on the number of words on the frontpage?
