Your comments were ten times more worthwhile than all the flaming drivel that
gave rise to them.  While I know one of the flamers (at least) is a substantial
contributor in Apple matters, this long-running waste of bandwidth has diminished
all its participants to reputation=zero.

I think the two of them should meet on the field on honor with flamethrowers, and
incinerate each other.  Then, we can resume the purpose of this newsgroup.
