@Renee Schwedel,

No. I can't but perhaps you should Google it. I'd bet you could find the answer there. That is why search engines were invented.

@Ragman,

However Rog it's a shock to learn that Google is censored in some climes; China and N Korea I believe are two

…while Google is subject to some of the strangest software glitches imaginable. For instance recently for no apparent reason it has quit suggesting spelling corrections. But in my case especially, for some reason Google has placed some restrictions on my messages because it thinks I'm posting from Canada

@dalehileman,

BTW, my screen name is not Rog. I use my initials RAG.

As for the Google national restrictions, you could be right; however, I may wrongly have assumed that it's a fairly reasonable assumption that the person who would be asking for DJIA sort of info is not from a restricted country.

As of Feb 2013, this info was current:

" China, Iran, Pakistan, Syria and Turkmenistan, with Egypt the latest in a long line of other countries to face more temporary censorship."

I'm perplexed about your response. I don't understand these phrases: "we quit doing it 43 yrs ago". Who is the 'we' and what action was quit?

Also, who is the 'they' that would come around? You do understand that these nations who censor Google do so for current political reasons. They are non-democratic countries often times run by despots who are restricting access to all info on Internet from their citizens.

Shrug.

What is the connection to the OP? Or what connection is there to censorship by dictatorships and non-democratic nations policies?

I presume Renee's inability to access help on Google

Have I gotten left out of this discussion somehow
