YOU are the one repeatedly posting on a thread in which you claim you have no interest. Now you post an entire reply filled with an ad hominem to me Claiming I am so bereft of interests it is all I can do is post stuff to the Internet to promote Apple.
Neddermeyer, I have a very good life with a great family and a young granddaughter, a business, a beautiful girlfriend, I'm a novelist working on two books, and own rental properties, I've accomplished much in my life, founded charities, and run them, helping more people than you can count, as a musician, I've performed in Carnegie Hall. . . and I have a host of other interests.
YOU are the one who gets on here and ignorantly posts drivel on something you don't use, don't have a clue about how it works, and tries to tell those of us who do use one, how terrible it works. When we correct your misinformation you jump to some other falsehood about it. . . from your store of ignorance. You do this repeatedly in multiple Apple threads. You are a thread troll.
"I like yanking your chain, maybe the name Neidermeyer fits me a bit too well in this instance..." Why? WHO doesn't have a life??? Get another, better hobby than "yanking my chain", Neidermeyer. As you said, there's a real world out there beyond posting idiocy on FreeRepublic. . . because posting lies makes you look like an idiot.
You've been told, repeatedly, why I post on Freerepublic and it has to do with the request of over 700 of your fellow Freepers, not YOU. They want ACCURATE information, not posts on repeated DRIVEL. They appreciate me shooting down the lies. They are tired of you Apple haters posting the same old falsehoods time-after-time, over and over again.
If you don't like Apple threads, move on to something you do like.
Hear, Hear, Swordmaker...and THANK YOU for posting the threads and comments you do despite the abuse heaped on you by the haters.
