In reading the posts, I now realize that although Adobe appears to be involved in the forums, as they link you to them when you purchase their products, and from the corporate website. Also, since the Adobe logo and links to Adobe are all over the top of these forum pages, you would think that Adobe was involved in providing this forum and that they would monitor what goes on. You'd think that, but as I now find out, they aren't involved at all, and the moderation is by someone outside of Adobe.
That could explain the tone that is allowed and some of the nastiness in one of the two forums that I have participated in, and how one of those forums has been hyjacked. If I need help on something in the future, I'll just go elsewhere until the forums have a feature that allows me to block members.
Correct me if I am wrong, but it has always been clearly stated that these forums are not a way of addressing Adobe, and that there are no Adobe employees monitoring their contents. So posting here is useless for contacting Adobe.
My point was that if there were an issue that the Adobe folks that work with the forums should know about, one of us might call it to their attention. We do that all the time in my little fora of the Adobe universe.
While some here may not believe Adobe folk see things in this forum, they would be wrong. They may not choose to engage in an obvious manner, but they do peek in from time to time.
And again in my little fora, Adobe engineers have been frequenting to assist with some of the more technically touchy issues with the products. I heartily applaud that effort as it will only result in a better product!
