Only if Apple Inc made products related to cross pollinating and Apple shaped
women.

If you don't find passing references to the latest Apple happenings useful
or interesting, learn how to use your newsreader's kill thread feature. I
use it a lot here myself so I don't have to read the same old crap being
rehashed endlessly. It spared me from all that VAMPS crap way back when,
and is getting a good workout on the boycott Microsoft and visi.com - lies
and slander crap these days.

: DOESN'T BELONG HERE.

Don't read it then. Complaining only clogs the group further.
