who at Google do you have to knock across the head to get them to not touch your local business listings after you've given them all the proper information?

If you haven't updated your listings, this is the process:
- Go to the Google Local setup page
- Update your company's information (address, phone, URL, contacts, photos, etc)
- Select phone or post card verification (note that the phone option is slightly difficult if you have multiple locations and they're not all going to the same place)
- If postcard, wait 1 to 3 weeks for that to show up and get the PIN off the postcard
- Log back into the Google Local setup page and enter the PIN(s)
- Watch with glee as you're perfectly setup on Google!
- Go back 3 months later to see completely different information
- Work with Verizon and other Yellowpages companies to get their listings straight
- Watch your Google Local listings look more accurate, but not as good as what you gave them originally
- 3 months later go back to see completely different information again....and wrong info on the Yellowpages sites too
