"Flaming away" my butt.

I was *not* "flaming away".  I was pointing out technologies that
people were attributing to Apple that were not correctly attributable
to Apple, and took a little less time than I admittedly should have
and got taken to task for one sentence out of 27 (I counted).

I admitted the error, but the other 26 sentences remain unaddressed
and were not "proven wrong" through guilt-by-association with the
incorrect sentence.

As to "not really even knowing the facts", correct it to "not really
knowing this one specific fact" and I will agree with you, as I
have already done.

You are attempting to attack my overall credibility using an ad
hominum argument.  Please learn to post rationally if you must
post.  If not rationally, then at least logically.
