Ha ha ha. Blah, blah, blah. What Share, *what* is an "interesting perspective?" The fact that you do reduce things to "right and wrong?" Try this on for "interesting." Maybe you really *did* take the tiniest, barely noticeable, exception to the fact that Ann and I were teasing you about not knowing that Apple has stores and "genius bars," but you didn't want to admit it (that would require admitting to a possibly uncomfortable feeling), so, instead, you denied it and told her she was "wrong."

Depends on how you define the word "use" maybe? Maybe you "use" them indirectly as both Ann and I have Apple products that we "use" to post here and you are "using" my post to reply to. I'm not judging the "appropriateness" of your choice of "right" and "wrong", I'm just reminding you that, based on what you wrote, you *do* reduce things to "right" and "wrong", thus invalidating or rendering inconsistent your statement that you don't think like that. My answer to your answer is "I don't know."

(RIGHT) I figure you are not very savvy technically (RIGHT) and that you do not use Apple computers.(RIGHT) I figure you did not know Apple Stores existed (RIGHT) nor did you realize how cool they are, all simplistic design, glass and that they call their computer experts "geniuses". (RIGHT) I figure you figure that getting out of FF twice a year amounts to some sort of cultural pinnacle (WRONG) and I figure you took exception to me making fun of the fact you don't know about Apple Stores.(WRONG) Is that enough figuring for one day do you think? (DON'T KNOW) Well Share, you indicated 5 rights, 2 wrongs, and 1 don't know. it appears that you *do* look at at least some things in a right and wrong kind of a way. Are you *sure* you know enough to use those terms, even as you apply them to you? Very black and white thinking, imho. I am surprised that you didn't know that Apple stores even existed! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote : Well Emily, Ann was making assumptions about me and I was giving her feedback about her assumptions about me...
