I don't know how wondering aloud became screaming. As many list members are
well aware, software companies monitor (lurk) on many of these groups to
find out about bugs and general satisfaction with their products. Maybe
Keith was just expressing some frustration with someone not following
through on a commitment - and trying to apply a little leverage to make it
happen.

I am as big of a Mac head as there is ( and a democrat too Keith :-) -- a
very conservative democrat though ), but I saw no platform wars here just
frustration with a company.
 
My point is that is and has been a great forum and we need to be tolerant
and see things for what they are. A couple of my other groups have turned
nasty in the last few days too, maybe it's a moon cycle or something.
