Apples actual response to the Flash issue

[Randall Lee Reetz]

Really, all YOU can do is nitpick?  No content?  What pisses you off is that I care enough to think hard and long on these issues in context?  I didn't start this thread.  It went on and on and on as simplistic and "childish" woe is me, steve is the devil manner until I felt I had to step in and put the tantrum under the lens of reality bigger than our shared disappointment and frustration.  Everyone loves the simplicity and lynch-mob hysteria of a "tea party" cheering session.  Except I guess me.  If by ego you mean having the balls to think original thoughts and voice them at the risk of this constant chorus of "you make us look bad when you actually care", well you are right and it is worth everything you can throw at me to know what an authentic life feels like.  I only wish you had one. Then we could engage in a conversation of more meaning and substance.

if "Driving right now" is not "I wrote that note at a gas station" then
  put "The author, or his robust ego cares very little about
  anything beyond fueling that ego with negative attention and
  wasted bandwidth on tangents that are far removed from the topic"
  closeTopic
 else
  put "This is childish nitpicking, NOT!"
  -- he uses the word 'childish' alot too, although if someone were to
  -- be seriously injured by responding to email while driving,
  -- I doubt whether that ego would be shaken in the least
end if
