(Matt Cutts left Google eons ago; he formally resigned last December but had been on leave of absence long long long before that.)
Historically complaining on HN has been an excellent way to get the attention of people who care and can do something about things at these big faceless companies that skint on customer support.
I for one remember when Matt or Android devs etc would wade in if one of the community got their point across on HN.
Who is Matt Cutts' replacement?
had been on leave of absence
Why was he on a leave of absence?
