They haven't been ignored; they just haven't been able to be answered.
Hard for you to see the difference, I know, but still.
The developer community will have the same ability as anyone else in the
world to purchase shares or anything along those lines. There was internal
discussion about things like "Friends and Family" programs, or similar
setups for the base of registered developers, but special things like that
will not be a feature of this IPO, according to what I've been told.
So talk to your broker and see the official filings for all the
information. I can't say anything that isn't public information,
particularly with respect to the IPO, due to strict SEC guidelines.
