Andy,

My post was really more in response to your rather acidic comment concerning 
the (always) resurfacing rumors of hopeful announcements (which never happen). 
Instead of maybe thinking why people need to have such hopeless hopes, and 
construct such rumors that they cling to, you felt it appropriate to smugly 
mention that once again they were wrong and it seems to me that you enjoyed 
that comment!

Granted, one *CAN* get tired of the continued rumors resurfacing, and maybe 
that was one of the reasons you adopted that attitude.  It just seemed awfully 
cocky coming from you, talking to the commoners about these parts...

Of course, instead of maybe dealing with any of the issues I brought up (people
needing the illusions and hopes of rumors because they are being continually 
disapointed by apple), all you could muster is:

Which was a nice attempt to simply divert blame by trying to say:"HOw dare you 
judge me considering your performance/past record/non-connection to the GS 
world".

Well, Andy, but I do not need to be a GS guru (and I'm more than willingvto 
admit that I use Macintosh and am very happy with it) to be able to tell when a
company pisses on its users, or when an individual seems overly arrogant.

Now, do not misunderstand me:  I am not questioning that you are working very 
hard on future innovations to GS/OS and the finder, and that you are most 
likley weaving your usual ind of magic to dazzle the people that say "It can't 
be done".  I know your work, and I am very impressed by it.  It is not your 
work that is at debate here, but merely your attitude during that one comment 
of yours.

Harry
