Readers of this newsgroup should probably be aware that this very same
posting has appeared at least twice in comp.sys.mac, has engendered no
follow-up postings reporting similar experiences, and has finally been
objected to on precisely that ground.  Mr Dyckman was recently asked
to stop repeating his posting on the subject.

Given that comp.sys.mac has a large and enthusiastic audience of
regular Macintosh users, many of whom would appear to be all day,
every day hackers, it would be extremely interesting if anyone in this
group reports a similar experience.  At present it would appear that
the lowest common denominator is Mr. Dyckman and not the Apple
Macintosh.  If he is indeed uniquely sensitive, he is to be pitied,
and I would suggest he picks an alternate computer.  I doubt that his
case is any different to that of someone who is allergic to real
leather, and therefore can't drive a Rolls Royce; it is an extremely
unusual allergy.
