This seems odd to me . Are you and sword guy making money from APPLE or what? Nothing against Apple but the pimping seems to have gone up lately. To your credit I do see you on other threads and like your post on them.
Just wondering.

My Freeper page talks about my main interests. That’s what you’ll see me posting on, mostly. This was poted from an iPad ... :-) ...

I’ve been enjoying Apple’s fine products for over 30 years, since 1984, and I’m hoping to do so for the next 30 years ... if I live that long.

As I understand it, Swordmaker’s policy is to pingout not only articles that he finds interesting/informative, but also - as a way of having an answer to questions like yours, articles which he hasn’t posted himself, even tho he might have seen them, but were posted by others. Sounds fair enough, right?

But what if someone who’s hostile just floods the zone with threads which, altho based on different sources, don’t have any new information different from what threads were already posted? Should Swordmaker continously ping out thread after thread, which becomes a spam mechanism? He could be forced to start discriminating if people practice on his determination to be evenhanded.

Full disclosure, I am long AAPL. I’m starting to get nervous, tho, about the idea of an iCar, or what I refer to as “the Apple cart.”

Not a fan of battery powered automobiles. The gasoline and diesel vehicles of the past still dominate in the present, for good reason. I admit that all it would take is new technology enabling an efficient, cheap, light battery to make me reconsider in a big way. But I’m not holding my breath.

Apple is easily the most important business story of the last 30 years, if not the last century.

Their products have revolutionized the way not just Americans– but people around the world– actually live their lives.

Apple products and technology have democratized our very existence, putting at the fingertips of virtually every living person a way of life inconceivable to our grandparents.

I'd assert that Apple is worthy of discussion in this forum.

_{Full disclosure: I've used Apple products almost exclusively since 1981. I own and manage multiple Apple installations both personally and professionally, and I own long and short positions in the company. I own similar positions in greater quantities in PC-related tech.}
