"I just have to ask questions that always - always - go unanswered and even unacknowledged."
When someone uses terms like "always", especially when they repeat the "always" for emphasis, there is a high degree of probability that the statement using the term "always" will be false. It's claim that cannot practically be proven True, because it's generally beyond the ability/desire of the claimant to put forth the effort to do so. On the other hand, it's not hard to prove false, as it only needs one example to do so.
The hitch in proving this claim false, is that it is unlikely that the questioner would accept the answer to a virtually identical (if differently worded) question as it's not the "same" question.
The reality is that those who ask questions like these know that answers are available, much more so with the advent of Google, from multiple sources. Questions like these don't often seem to be actual requests for information as much as argument starters.
As a general rule, when people use terms like "always", never, etc, I simply ignore them because they can't even be bothered to state their claim accurately.
