I hyped the "scale" of the comment a bit just to incite comments about the (available but) slippery slope of user behavior as a determinant in rankings. Good to see you've got a sense of humor! One of the reasons it caught my attention is because I use the link: operator but want to stay "on the right side of the law" as it were... Thanks for the comment, Adam!

"Did you hear that Adam said that any Webmasters who use link: more than three times in a row are *definitely* black hats, and all of their sites will get instantly moved to position 666? And their pets will develop ulcerated sores and all of their t-shirts will come out of the dryer... INSIDE OUT! :o" Lost in all of the commotion were the core points I made in response to the question about the link operator at the seminar: 1) A TINY (albeit not unimportant) percentage of Google's users values the link: operator. 2) We're always trying to allocate engineering time and resources where they can do the most good. 3) We haven't ruled out improving the link: operator in the future. Hope this sets the record straight, or at least a bit straighter :-) Okay, okay, this is becoming like a game of telephone.
