Lauren, Yes, Christopher is a lister and so are you, so please do act in the manner you're asking him to.
the tone of your post initiated his response. So let's please just end this now and move on. K? This discussion is plenty relevant to iDevices as the thread starter asked for some help so the list is responding. No one is saying your post is any less important than anyone else's on this subject and I'm pretty sure that all the help the list is offering is appreciated. This means you too. So as I said before, don't make this a flame war. In fact, this is also your warning. Do this again and you're moderated. Just letting you know. If you have anything further to say on this, then write me or Raul privately, K? Thanks a bunch!

I don't think it's your place to give anyone a lecture on how to post. You are just another lister like the rest of us. Sounds harsh, but I mean it in a factual manner and not just one of those truths politicians throw around so much. Please fight your propensity for correcting others publicly, and leave this task to the list moderators . In any scientific field and the law for that matter, the person making the charge provides the proof. I've read people posting this rice theory, but no one has explained or described the mechanism of action. There isn't a doctor alive, beyond Dr. Dre possibly, who will take the advice of anything posted because "I read it on the internet." ...How about we just forget about all this and move on, ok? None of this has anything to do with Apple or IOS.
