Where Apple is concerned, they (as in, representatives of Apple itself) don't even participate in the actual Apple discussion forums.
If you are beta testing, you get canned responses when you report a bug. Sometimes they ask for more information relating to the bug, but that too comes via a canned response. There are beta tester discussion forums, and even those have no direct representation from Apple.
