This is so bad it's getting hilarious. I mean, either the leadership is completely unaware of issues people raise for years, or they are and intentionally neither comment on nor fix them. Either way - WTF? I honestly think they're just delusional about being too big to fail at this point. Another social network will make them the latest MySpace though, just a question of time.
