Google Moderator - Questions (un)answered?

I want to know more about Google. Who doesn’t? I guess 99.9% of the webmasters does and at least half of the World’s population. Google is mysterious, they keep things hidden from the public eye and when I first saw the announcement about there’s a place where Google engineers will answer our questions, I got excited. (While that article doesn’t state the Googlers vs. Webmasters question war, it exists, believe me)

I’m not social at all. I rather search 2 weeks to read an acceptable answer for my question instead asking someone to answer that question, but I thought I make an exception and ask the infamous engineers one-two things.

Can I say I have two favorite Google engineers? OK, so I have two favorite Google engineers; the first is Matt Cutts because we both hate spam and fishing … sorry, phishing and we both love cats. Ok, I don’t but it sounds cool. The second engineer is Adam Lasnik. He’s a search evangelist, whatever that means. But he seems to be cool and also hates spam, so I rather sympathize him than don’t.

OK, I asked 5 simple questions for them. Most of them were towards any engineer, one for Matt and one for Adam. I list 3 questions here and a short explanation for each question:

1. Do you plan in the near future any webmaster meeting in the central or generally in EU?
   I asked this cos I would really like to go to a such meeting and I think many of us would like to see the almighty Googlers, ask a few questions for them or just simply attack them because their site is not listed in Google or got penalized. Not a hard question, I’d even accept an “I don’t know”, but no, Adam seems to ignore me…
2. This bugs me for ages: Can you check the users’ MAC address? I’ve read somewhere that you can, if so hat off…
   Well, the myth says it’s technically impossible, but some ‘great’ webmasters say it IS possible. I just want a confirmation from an authoritative source, nothing more. Nonetheless to say that I wouldn’t publish it on the internet that Google is able to check users’ MAC address. OK, maybe I would but it’s not my intention at the moment
3. Take this query: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en=investigation@fdic.gov The query’s first 6 result is a forged 404, not good for the user. Can something be made against this? While others are posting useful content, those are like spam: useless
   Oh why, oh why do you list almighty Google custom 404 pages with almost no content when good webmasters have good content? Please tell me! You say to make pages for the users, I think good webmasters really follow this way and we create useful pages for the users and what we get? We get pushed down to the 15th place just because the first 14 result is a custom 404 page. How did we hurt you, to get this harsh punishment?

While I don’t think this article will change anything, I had to let the steam off. I also realize that both Matt and Adam are extremely busy Googlers and when they finish their work, they have their own, personal life.
But, Google Moderator has been created to get questions answered. I really appreciate the approach, truly. But if we ask questions and no one answers them, what’s the point?
