All this repressed anger coming to the surface. I generally don't, but I can bring the attitude when it occasion arises. I don't have a problem with Google not showing the supplemental information publicly. I'd like them to keep it public, because it's easier to find and I would like to have it as part of competitive analysis. But the important part is letting me see which or my pages are supplemental. What it sounds like Matt's saying is he'd like to remove all mention of the supplemental index everywhere. I can't the information on your site, I can't get it on mine, the word supplemental disappears from the English language. I think Matt's taking it a little too far.

I'm impressed. Looks like I'm rubbing off on you! :) Personally, I'm a believer that the supplemental index should be removed from public view, and have said so in the past. I don't often agree with SEOmoz thinking, but they're right here: if a site is suffering, then it should be conveyed in Webmaster Tools, but not to a competitor. Google won't remove it fully...they'd hear too much flak if they did. This is all just black noise, IMHO. Damn, dude…you’re bringing the attitude. I’m impressed.
