"
We had an isolated bug in our interaction with a proxy server in Singapore, and we've reached out to the local ISP to straighten this out. The Google Reader team has already pushed a fix; we will take steps on our side to prevent this from happening again. If you see any more instances, please contact us here: http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/request.py?contact_type=general&ctx=reader
