Now you are arging that two wrongs make a right. Sheesh, where is your sense of morality. I think you're missing the point. He's saying it's hypocritical of you to single out one from all tech companies that have problems. Apple, like any company, has production problems from time to time. They are continually addressing this of course, but sometimes it takes a while for unknown reasons. There is no reason to believe that Apple is stalling an issue in any capacity. Diversion. THE POINT IS APPLE'S ACTIONS. And everyone else is free to be axe murderers. Okay, I now understand our moral position. If you want to debate the location of the business line, take it to a different group. I'm sure that Canon, Nikon, Adobe ... and many other unequivocally on-topic businesses have similar skeletons in their closet too. BTW are you the same Sandman who criticizes others for intrjecting themselves into conversations. Kindly **** off on your lame high horse whinny about "interjecting": this is USENET which is and has been for decades an "All to All" communication medium. -hh Your sarcasm meter is in serious need of repair. ""The lady doth protest too much...." -hh |

Where a troll respond to a poster in a thread and ignore or snip the current topic and only add an insult, argument, or ad hominem or any other troll content. I admit that troll techniques are well within your expertise. Indeed, I've dealt with trolls like yourself for decades. I've been in many dedicated advocacy groups, but the trolls there are on a whole other level than here, you guys are like newbie trolls. -- Sandman |

Oh look, whisky dave is blotto again I can't understand anything he says, I've no idea what the word 'teh' might be, but I'm a self obsessed expert in how the English language is/was and how it should be used. ;-P I can't say that I'm all that surprised that you would consider me an "expert" in the English language, but you'll have to take my word for it that I'm not. -- Sandman |

When I have mentioned faults with othr companies, at least one fanboi has responded with something like: "that would not have happened with an Apple." depends what the issue was. for some things, that is correct. As I have said in the past, I have little financial incentive to unfairly bash Apple. Indeed ,doing so is against my personal intrests. yet you do. Where, when. -- PeterN |
