As I wrote you in the email we are working very hard on a very cool release going out soon so I have less time for emails (as well for sleep and even say hi to my wife ;-)

First, re "I offer my apologies in advance for any angst you may experience at this presumptuous action. " -- no worries. We ALWAYS welcome new ideas and any feedback we can get from our valuable users!

Re the issue you've raised: we checked this and there isn't any malfunction in the system. I believe the cause is that in our latest release we've tried to split the comments into group of 20 with pagination and when linking back to the article page, the specific comment wasn't always on the first page (but you could see it if you continue browsing the other pages). The way our system works does not allow showing comments on user profiles without having them at the article page itself (i.e., they are fully synced in real-time). Even if specific comment being deleted (spam, etc.) it will not show at the user profile.

Together with that I bring some good news on that issue: as we found out the latest change wasn't so successful we are going to improve it in the upcoming release (and this is the least exciting part of the release ;-) so you will see the first 20 comments at the article page but then you can switch to a single page with all the comments stream. This was based on valuable feedback from our users - we are not perfect but we do try to improve ourselves...

I'll be happy to hear any thoughts you and others have about this issue.

At least according to their internal documents they *think* they will make money: "By the end of 2010, Twitter expected to be at a $140 million revenue run rate." and "the numbers they were targeting for the end of 2013: 1 billion users, $1.54 billion in revenue, 5,200 employees and $1.1 billion in net earnings." (bit.ly/bKaWb)

We almost certain it's an ad issue as once we took all ads down we didn't get anymore complains... Then we've identified the bad ad and got confirmation from Google about it as well. I truly believe this will solve the issue but we will be smarter tomorrow after we bring all the ads back to the site ;-)
