As these guys have stated over and over again, in their messages and their disclaimers, they are in NO WAY representatives of Apple Computer. They are netters just like the rest of us, only they are sometimes better informed because they happen to work for apple. If we perceive them to be apple reps, it won't be long before apple DOES prohibit them from using the net (as you suggest later). We would ALL lose if that happens. Please don't even suggest that they represent apple in any way. >The tenor of your reply is totally inappropriate in this forum and for your >position as a representative of Apple. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Again, they do NOT represent apple. >And I would probably prohibit you from posting to the net from the Apple >machine. This would be sad. Unfortunately, if too many people consider apple netters as apple representatives, this could happen.
