Thank you for your reply. Please note that Google's creation of sites'
titles and descriptions (or "snippets") is completely automated and takes
into account both the content of a page as well as references to it that
appear on the web. While we're unable to manually change titles or snippets
for individual sites, please be assured that we're always working to make
them as relevant as possible.
If you're concerned about content in your title or snippet, you may want to
double-check that this content doesn't appear on your site. If it does,
changing it may affect your Google snippet or title after we next crawl your
site. If it doesn't, try searching Google.com for the title or snippet
enclosed in quotation marks. This will display pages on the web that refer
to your site using this text. If you contact these webmasters to request
that they change their information about your site, any changes to their
sites will be recognized by our crawler after we next crawl their pages.
Talk about not keeping up to date
