blimey....people whining about people whining..

lol!

its all off-topic of course because this thread is simply asking if the policy of communication between Google and webmasters has changed. The reasons why it may have changed may be appropriate if you at least give your view on the topic..has it or has it not changed..

of course reseller is correct that it has. This does not imply they have any obligation to communicate at all. But if you don't get side tracked with your own bias on what should and should not be said on a Google forum its an interesting question. What really would prompt the change? Would it coincide simply with a new policy decision? Were they simply fed up up with being bashed for their openness? Or is the reason deeper? Could it be part of a wider new direction?
