You should be thanking me for providing a whole story, instead of taxing my time with “already posted” garbage.

You are welcome. LoL!

I could also mention the link you provided only two days ago was to Rolling Stone while the link for my news story was at least to BBC.

I am just wondering Swordmaker, are you a Conservative?

Berlin, I did ping all 700 members of the list to your thread for a reason. . . I did not just ignore it. They were free to comment here or on the other thread. I notice that none of them are here. . . probably because you came off as an anti-Apple troll, and they wanted no part of the thread. The rest because it was duplicative in topic and offered nothing new. Had it offered a new perspective I would have said so. It doesn't. It's a rehash of the same basic facts. There's nothing new to see here.

You claim I've failed at managing that Apple/Mac ping list for over ten years. . . Where's your list of Freepers who've asked you to keep them informed and who complain to YOU when there are multiple threads on the same topics!

It's the one thing I get more complaints about and the most often cited reason from people who are requesting their names be dropped off the list. I try to avoid posting more than one thread per topic, and when I find a second thread, I always try to let the list members know it's "another thread on the same topic," and if it has a different perspective I will let them know. Over ten years, the members of the list have found they can trust my knowledge and judgement on articles.
