I really don't appreciate getting a mail message from you, Swordmaker, laden with sarcasm.

You posted a thread, you get a response, be a man and live with it without bothering people who don't agree with you with potshots in their mailboxes.

No wonder apple has the reputation of being the choice of girliemen.

Invisib1e... I haven't the foggiest idea of what you are talking about.

I pinged the Mac ping list to your thread in a public posting to over 250 members which contained no sarcasm aimed at you but some mild deirision at the writer of the article.

I also responded to your Freepmail in which you said "Much obliged ;)" which I interpreted to be a request to be added to the ping list but was not certain. That's why I said in my return mail:

"Welcome to the Mac Ping list... I think that’s what you are requesting, right?"

Where's the sarcasm?

If I misinterpreted your request, I am sorry and will remove your name from the Ping list. Certainly no sarcasm was intended.

I am still at a loss as to what has gotten you upset. I sent no "potshots" to your mailbox! Why would I?

The first interaction I ever had with you was when I received a Freepmail from you that originated on a different thread:

much obliged ;)

To which I replied:

Notice the time signatures... you freepmailed me at 7:07 PM PDT and I replied to you at 8:16 PM PDT responding to what I interpreted as a request to be added to the Mac Ping list.

I get a lot of these... but they are usually a little more explicit than "much obliged ;)" which is why I asked for a confirmation but went ahead and added your name to the list. I see no sarcasm in the reply I sent to you. Do you?

Four minutes later, at 8:20 PM PDT, I pinged the list to Angkor's posting about the iPhone activation complaints which you seem to have taken personally. It certainly was not directed at YOU personally.

You then reply publicly on this thread and attack me, claiming I sent "potshots" to your email. That makes no sense.

I have removed your name from the Mac Ping list.
