One of the best would never get hit by a filter... What kind of advice can such a person give? It is just like a veterinarian trying to show off on forums posting all kind of advice on how to take care of your dog, while in his house his dogs are dying and he has no clue of what is happening to them.
GG does make post every once in a while at: http://forums.searchenginewatch.com http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/member.php?u=833 There is also someone in the adsense PR department that posts every once in a while as well.
Did you even read what this thread is about? We are not talking about Googleguy, and when the thread moved on to him for a while, we were talking about posts on THIS forum. Who cares if he posts at engine watch??
