First of all, I think posting here WILL make, at least, a little difference.
Second, as I've said before, the original intent was not to try to really
change anything, but just to discuss it in one or two messages, and, that, in
itself, might do a little good, but later, I just had to start defending
myself against the people that kept saying, "STOP APPLE BASHING!".
Talking about it here will encourage people to start writing letters and let
Apple know how they feel.  The more letters Apple gets, the better the chance
of support, even though the new letters that are sent will probably only make
a small dent, at least it's something.
