[various paragraphs urging us to bitch at developers, not Apple]

Steve,
  While I agree with the intent of your article, I have to disagree with
  your tone.  I can't help but notice that you are acting as if you ARE
  Apple, as if you had the full inside-story on System 7.0 through all
  of it's lifetime.  Why do I have a hard time beleiving that?  Why do
  you appear to be apologizing for Apple, defending Apple, as if you
  were an authority on and in Apple?

  Perhaps the most telling sign; a .sig:

      Steve Klingsporn
      Goof (and Apple wanna-be!!)

  I can't say truer words have been spoken of late.
