Usually, but for asking for help with problems, I am pretty quiet on here. But the recent spate of innuendo against Dave and Andy specifically, Apple employees who post here in general kinda rings an alarm in me of extreme injustice. We II users feel like the forgotten children often and I myself despair what our status is at Apple. At the same time, though, I see people like Dave, like Andy, and..before he understandably ceased posting, Matt working for Apple and trying to help here as best they can. I also see a lot of "gimme inside info" postings which are basically not only frustrating to the poster and any Apple employees reading them but really serve no useful purpose. In a time when we need all the help and support we can get, some of the postings are alienating the very Apple employees who are trying to do their best by we, the user community. I don't blame Matt for no longer posting here. I wouldn't either if I was being flamed rather than being asked constructive questions. We all know Apple has a policy of not revealing status, etc. of at least II products they are working on. To ask Dave or Andy or Matt to go against that policy not only would be useless should they agree for the future could alter the project condiserably but it would endanger their positions. The last think we need to do is get the people who listen to us fired. So...Dave (who is trying to help me with a most perplexing problem my GS has), Andy (who's ShrinkIt truly is a classic), and Matt (if you read this I've enjoyed your postings and would welcome you back)....you are very appreciated for what you do try to do in this forum. I hope those who choose to denigrate will not drive ya'll away.
