Okay, dammit, people... please be careful how you do your reposts. I am the
guy who originally posted "A sad day..." bitching ABOUT Apple... not supporting
them. Someone has associated MY name with the above "Apple-developed ideas"
blather which I did NOT post. Please make sure you are cutting out the right
lines in the future and we will all be much happier!

PS- I also originally contended that those who feel the need to sue are those
who are falling behind in the market place.
