As I said in TidBITS when I reported on this stuff, "I stopped taking
notes when I graduated from Cornell, so you'll have to guess what they
[the reasons] are." If I can't copy and paste, I can't use the
information :-). Besides, it's awfully hard to copy such remarks
quickly without losing a bunch of the good parts.

Well, being faced with the prospect of doing a bad thing and being in
poor taste and possibly having massive tooth rot as a result, can I
(pretty please) use this in TidBITS this week? If you don't respond in
a few days, I'll assume Apple Legal has you tied up somewhere and is
torturing you for not running the above paragraph past them first. If
you must say no because of the Apple Legal spook by your side with a
gun, do it in email to save my delicate ego, please.

Lies lies lies. Don't believe him, folks, he's lying. They are exactly
the same as last month's lies. Of course I may be lying too.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...  :-) :-)
