How come the Adwords Advisors never reply to the threads that actually need the most clarifying? Anyone else notice this?

A good question actually, and deserving of an answer, bostonseo. And since you've been commenting on this quite a bit of late, I'll answer it briefly and sincerely. I don't want to be drawn into a debate on this, however, and will let my 3470 posts over three years speak to my commitment to this forum and its members.

So. As a rule, you'll find me conspicuously absent from threads that have words like 'conspiracy', 'cartels', 'Google money grab', and so forth in their subject lines.

The same is true for threads that are essentially discussions of Google's business model, and how it should or should not be. I've posted many times over the years that this is not something that I am able to comment on, and it still holds true.

Same goes for threads which have degenerated into name calling and expressions of personal spite - and there have been many of these of late. More than I've ever seen in three years on the forum. Speaking simply as a human being, and not as a Google representative, it makes me want to stay away.

Lastly, I have a limited amount of time in which to post on WebmasterWorld - not nearly enough time to 'defend against' or even comment on the many theories and conjectures which are routinely published on this forum. I try to use my limited time as wisely as I can - knowing full well that, inevitably, I can not satisfy everyone.
