 * I´ve complained about this for a year now. And I have no intent of being nice
   about it. My last topic got deleted, and since WordPress not giving me back anything
   as a customer in this issue, I don´t see why I should be giving back any nice
   behaviour about it.
 * Embedded code like Google Maps, will be deleted if you switch back to Visual 
   View, after having put the code in HTML View.
 * You are all aware of it, but chose not to do [moronic explicative] about it. 
   And it is really unprofessional do not have embedding working in the biggest 
   blog software of all time.
 * I´d slap you all with a rotten fish if I could. Fix it!

 * You aren’t a customer. You’re using a free blogging platform that’s developed
   and supported by volunteers. There’s no business model. No one made a dime off
   of you, unless you donated of course.

 * Unfortunately, this is how TinyMCE (the third-party volunteer-developed WYSIWYG
   editor used as the Visual editor) handles code. It can’t interpret what it isn’t
   programed to understand, so it just throws it out. I believe the WP devs are 
   working on their own WYSIWYG editor to resolve the issue.

 * Compose your post in the Visual editor, switch to the HTML editor to embed your
   code, then publish the post. That’s all you need to do.

 * I’m glad you feel entitled to fish slapping. I’m sure that will get the volunteers
   motivated.

 * I don’t think we’ll achieve anything more here.
