Blue tags in the Class Forums

I just wanted to see if we are really ignored by the people who are responsible for our class in comparison to all other classes, so I took a look in other classes’ forums first threads' page looking for blue tags (besides the usual 3-4 blue tags every class forum has first listed), and here is what I have found:

Druid Forum:
Blue response to “Please fix feral range bug”, a topic of about 21 pages long. Vaneras answers twice on the second page, twice more in the third. Tharfor is giving feedback on issues of the thread on page 7.
Vaneras response and locking of “Blizz nerf travel form” in the very first page ot the thread.
Vaneras response and locking of “Idiotic idea”, in the third page of the thread.

Hunter Forum:
Blue response by Tharfor in “How far did you travel to tame a pet?” in the first page of the thread.
Blue response by Vaneras in “Re:Analysis of Hunter DPS Mechanics” on the 6th page of the thread.

Mage Forum:
Blue response by Vaneras in “Re:What race should I choose?” in the second page of the thread.

Rogue Forum:
Blue reasponce by Salthem in “The Hemo Thread”, in the fifth page of the thread.

Paladin Forum:
Blue response by Tharfor to “CM’s, paladin issues and forgotten issues” on the first page of the thread.

Priest Forum:
Blue response by Vaneras to “Shadowpriest PvP issues updated”, in the third page (out of 14).
The famous “Steve” thread, 95 pages long. Salthem sends his greetings on page 12, Vaneras on page 13. I stopped searching in page 25…

Warrior Forum:
Blue response by Vaneras in “TheWarrior clinic, ask for advice!”, in the third page of the thread.
Blue response by Vaneras in the “Arena guide, a help to warriors”, in the first page of the thread.

Warlock Forum:
Blue response by Tharfor in “Do Warlocks smile more?”, in the second page of the thread.
Blue response by Vaneras in the “Warlock macros – if you need help”, in the first page of the thread.
Blue response by Vaneras in “Tips for the noob raider”, in the first page of the thread.
Blue response by Vaneras in “The tribulations of a megalomanic Warlock (68 pages long), in the second page on the thread.

Shaman Forum:
None in the first page of threads.
In the second page of threads, there are 2 blue tagged: “The official Shaman UI.2” and “Shaman Macros”. The next blue tag we have is on page 5, where Vaneras is locking a troll post.

In most of these responses, the blue posters either inform about the addition of the thread to the sticky compilation, or they inform that they are aware of the mentioned issues. In the rest, they either express an opinion or they just say hallo to Steve.

So, I wonder: Isn't there ANY post in the Shaman's first page forum worthy of getting a blue tag? a small comment? anything? Personally, I think that the "PVP Shaman: A 2300+ Lock;s Perspective" is one of the best posts i've seen the last few months concerning the Shaman's PvP issues, to mention just one of the good posts.

And one other thing: Are Vaneras, Tharfor and Salthem the only people that read and respond to the class forums? because up untill now, I haven't seen any other blue poster. Is Blizzard expecting to get adequate feedback report on 9 classes by just 3 people?

I admit that our blue-tag presence has been a little lacking in the Shaman forum lately.

However we have said time and time again that our lack of blue-tagging does not mean that we do not read your concerns and take them into consideration.

We are always very busy here and our commitment to all of our players is the same as it always has been, even if our visibility has diminished recently.

We are very much concerned that we have not been able to post as much or as often as in the past, and it is something we are working hard to rectify; so please bear with us.

Hopefully you can understand that we do care and that we are not ignoring you.
