> none of those are something a chrome dev rel person can help you with. Chrome dev rel persons are Google employees. I've been surprised by how much can be fixed once somebody on the inside are aware of it. Also it seems a lit of googlers hang around here so it might get picked up based on that too. > People like you are the reason we have to deal with three layers of low-level tech support before we can actually talk to somebody who knows what they're doing - Blame Google, not me. Where there is a bug tracker I often use it. Unfortunately there isn't a public one for Search, Calendar etc. When they choose to only engage on HN, and only with one guy from dev rel, that's where I'll post.

well thanks for doing your best to ensure they stop engaging on HN, i guess...

  Tell me a better way to get Google to fix things, I'm all ears. Complaining in social media, bugging people you know inside the walls and calling them out here works

    You have the wrong attitude here. Twice, actually. The fact that you haven't found a good way to get Google to fix things for you isn't an excuse to just charge forward with the best way that you have found. Suppose you're stuck in traffic. The most effective way to move forward might really be to just lay on your horn. The people in front of you will probably eventually yield (most just eager to put distance between themselves & you, others generously assuming that you have some kind of emergency). That doesn't make it okay for you to do that. The second time you had the wrong attitude is when you demanded that people teach you a better way. Maybe somebody on HN will generously extend that favor to you, but if they do then realize that they've done you a favor -- they didn't owe it to you.
