    I also question why MAC stuff is all of a sudden appearing on this newsgroup. 
    Aren't the MAC people satisfied with their own group?   Sounds like the same

Listen.  People have spent far space complaining about the Mac stuff than
there was Mac stuff.  Furthermore, most of the people you are complaining
about will never have seen your complaints.

Lots of people read this list in USENET news.  In that system you can
cross post messages to more than one newsgroup.  In most news readers
if you reply to a cross-posted message it gets cross-posted again.
Someone posted to both groups.  All you saw was the thing that came
to info-apple.  People on USENET responded to that message, their
responses also came to info-apple (and gradually the topic changed of
course, because by now we are seeing responses to responses).  Eventually
the cross-posting will die out and the problem will go away.  However
here on info-apple people will doubtlessly still be sending messages to
the list (rather than the original message posters) complaining about it.

Finito.
