If folks want to have a serious update thread, I say, go for it. I still think that no good can come of it, because as I stated above, G no longer seems to apply the same ranking criteria across all sites. The serious thread linked to above has numerous examples of, "I'm sure the problem is A," followed by, "the problem can't be A because..."

Somebody suggested that Brett set up a form to poll users on various info about their situation (what industry do you work in, do you publish static or dynamic content, did Bourbon help or hurt you, etc).

This would be the way to go, because not only would it gather relevant data in an unemotional way, but it would also include industry and keyword data that we are barred from including in our posts.
