Yes, I am in a crappy mood, but the no advertising thing just irks me every time I see this sort of post that is blatantly that. Explain how this post is the same as advising about an OS update?
Bad form in the middle of a freepathon.
Sorry to hear that. I sincerely hope you feel better soon.
> Explain how this post is the same as advising about an OS update?
Fair question. Well, if by "OS update" you would include the releases of Windows 10 (and I would), then the threads I posted a couple weeks ago that were basically rah-rah feature descriptions were just as much "advertising" for Windows 10 as this thread is "advertising" for the Mac.
I had been posting a lot of threads about Win10 problems and I was catching a lot of flak for being "anti-Windows" and a "Microsoft hater". So guess what? When I started posting pro-Windows threads, I started getting called a Microsoft shill.
There's just no pleasing some folks, and in this case we (SwordMaker, ThunderSleeps, ShadowAce, and I) are damned if we do and damned if we don't. Is ThunderSleeps supposed to catch hell from pro-Android fans because of the threads about the Samsung phone that catches fire? Conversely, if he posts a pro-Android article is he shilling for Samsung and Google?
I see "advising about an OS update" and "advising about a hardware update" as being equivalent. Sure, it's gonna be in positive, even glowing terms. It's gonna talk it up. No surprise there.
The problem threads come later, of course. :-)

Tesla. There is “continuous string” of Tesla threads.
