Do I misunderstand this?  What it looks like to me is that
you're willing to tell the wide world you think your vendor
screwed you, and in almost the next breath you tell us
you'll knowingly pass the grief on to some other user.  Or
does "unsuspecting Mac user" mean something different from a
"Mac user who doesn't suspect" a (presumed) defect, in your
usage?  Unless it does, I would call that a mighty peculiar
morality and thank you for the warning.
