Forum Moderators: open
Thanks for the concern. I'm back. Erm, least for another week until I head to London to SES London on June 3-4.

Googleguy has been very busy reranking sites in the current never-ending update, and has not been able to play his Brett role very often. Don't worry, I'm sure "Brett" will be back to his normal posting levels soon.
You doubters should consider these facts: what better way for Google to elude the wiles of SEOs than by having Googleguy pose as a seemingly helpful, friendly, generous, and attentive forum operator? And like Clark Kent and Superman, do you ever see them together? Surely Brett's low posting level coinciding with an upheaval in Google SERPs can't be a coincidence... The truth is out there... ;)
