You have been reasonable for quite a string of messages. I recall that it was my impression that you were not so reasonable at one time. I would have to go back and look at specific messages to point out where though.
Is it really worth it at this point, or can we not just continue discussing this in a reasonable fashion?
How about this? Let me just apologize for misjudging you previously, and leave it at that.
I probably was a bit belligerent at first since I was in a bad mood yesterday from something personal and totally unrelated. My apologies to you for that. However, I am interested finding out what should be the solution in this discussion in a dispassionate way. My own particular prejudice is (as i have stated before) that apple should not be compelled into some corporate form of involuntary servitude, not to mention servitude of the type to violate the integrity of a key feature of one of its flagship products. Beyond 13A concerns, it has to me a taste similar to that of smart trigger identification for guns. And this does not even include all the (imho) numerous potential software security pitfalls that most folks will simply not ever take the time and effort to try to understand— not that they are necessarily stupid, but that it can be somewhat involved.
