I have seen the same topic poster a day apart and the later of the two, posted by a forum celebrity, gets the reply.

Not to say it's the new users fault or that it was a topic unworth the answer, but from what I have seen, it's you don't know them and they don't make you money, why talk to them until they do? (at least hoe it looks)

And not on GWW but on forums as a whole.

That is another topic on it's own... (When users feel an open comment is directed to a single instance)
