These guys.. is it just me, that think that Google miss some serious traction? Fundamental things like Email Forwarding not working now? Is everything just hit and miss there at Google HQ?
One guy out of millions having problems forwarding email is indicative of everything being hit and miss across all Google projects? You and the OP might be jumping to some unjustified conclusions.
No. Just look at the number of projects they dump to the trash can, compared to number of successful ones. Litarally... hit and miss.
