We don't have any real way to figure out how representative complaints
are.  We can only act on what we hear: the squeaky wheel is the one
that gets the grease, as ever.

You and I don't get to decide how other people complain.  They're free
to complain in any way they want.  If they think they're being ignored
in one forum they'll find another.  All that we can decide is how we
respond to their complaints.
