There's something called tone.
Dan has went above and beyond to help out everyone, so when you get worked up that he didn't post an update about 2-3 people, you're stoking people to not care about your case.
Then you complain about ddf apathy and you'll be wondering why people will start caring less all of a sudden.
I honestly don't know of which tone you speak.
Was it this?
Nothing doing. Accounts still disabled. All legit accounts. Please revise your post where you write:
Update #2, 11/17 at 8pm: Google has reactivated the suspended accounts!
Or maybe this?
I've submitted numerous requests about my shuttered accounts, yet nothing. Dan, can you pls update your article to properly reflect the facts that Google's reopening of accounts is purely whimsical by nature. Tnx!

Yes. Imagine what would happen if Dan would edit a post on DDMS every time someone thought there was a chance of hope for their personal situation.
Oy, that would be horrible. Just plain horrible. I mean, who was it again who said this was akin to a Digital
Death Sentence?
Besides for the fact that Dan's being completely reasonable here, there's also the idea of setting a precedent.
Really? You're worried that he'll set a precedence for journalistic integrity? I'm aware of the fake-news mania, but i think you're taking this a bit too far
Sometimes we just don't understand things, especially when we're emotionally involved. Trust me. I'm personally involved in this story from a few sides, and I've spoken to many people about it.
There seem to be between 2-300 people who had their accounts shut down.
Of those, probably 80-90% are here on DDF.
Google said they would restore access to genuine accounts.
I've since spoken to 10's of people (including the reseller) whose accounts were shut down and they were all reopened. I'm yet to hear of a third report of a genuine account that wasn't reopened. Me thinks I would've heard if there was.
So to answer your question, I get my numbers from personal interaction with the people involved.
As I've already said:
Seriously?
For argument's sake lets say you're assumptions are correct, does that still not fly in the face of their publically issued statement that they will be reopening all accounts not opened for the sole purpose of phone purchases? Or did i miss the "3 persons" exclusion?
I hope I've made clearer to you why Dan may not be able/willing to edit his post and to help you in other ways. If its still not making sense to you, I don't think I'll be able to be any clearer then this.
No, not really. Wonder if you would be singing the same song if our roles were reversed. Na, scratch that. I wonder not...

), is just beyond me. OK, i'm done here. Apologies to all who genuinely deserve them. And if anyone can offer actual help, it'll be truly appreciated. But for the rest of you, peace out!
