Is it a matter of sucking up? Really? Do you think people are on this list to just generate the meager petty personal aggrandizement possible for one to glean here? Jeez! Or , is it possible that in seeking help you might want your case presented in a sequential, easy to follow format that bring little impairment to communication? The less time it takes to parse a plea or even a help response the sooner the Mac will be happily running. Did you ever think of that? These lists have always been about keeping Macs running. Yes some have tried to impose their agendas. Rather unsuccessfully so. But i know of no other list that will help you get a machine of any kind operating any where near as soon as this one will help you with your Mac. And if you doubt that, experiment with other lists. If you find one tell me about it. I am always interested in good help.
