Re: the mac, a kabal comments

[Scott Howell]

You know I try so hard to avoid getting involved in these pissing  
contests, but what amazes me is the level of bitching and wining that  
seemingly flows from some of these messages.
First if I were to unsubscribe, I very seriously doubt any of you  
would give a tinkers damn, but let me assure you neither do I care who  
comes and goes. I don't know probably 95% of you in any event beyond  
the exchange of a few e-mails or just reading your messages. What I'd  
like you to consider is how many of you would actually have the guts  
to talk the trash face to face. Me, I say what I type, I have no fear,  
but I do consider others feelings to the extent of not calling them an  
idiot or hurting their feelings for the hell of it; unless I really  
feel that way.
So, ok, the comments were in my opinion unnecessary and honestly if  
those in the U.K. feel so under represented, then do something about  
it. I think Josh like many others has given a lot to this so called  
community and I for one appreciate it, I don't have the time to do all  
I'd like. So, there's plenty of room out there for anyone who wants to  
contribute. All this back-biting and bitching is just completely  
unproductive. When folks join this list which has a fairly high volume  
of traffic, they aren't joining to read the soap opera-style crap such  
as this. They are here to learn the benefit fo switching to the Mac,  
get assistance with their newly purchased Mac or old Mac, and here to  
possibly share their experences. So, how about we all work together to  
continue the atmosphere this list was intended to promote. Everyone  
should and does have the opportunity to contribute doing podcasts,  
going to shows, starting web sites, etc. So, go forth, be productive,  
and be nice.
