You're projecting.

Your words carry implications, Mr. Literal.

You seem unable to remember what you said, even though it still appears
above.

Me: "None of you hard-core Apple fans have ever encountered any Mac
problem
reported here, no matter who reported it."

Your response: "Well, this is a Mac *advocacy* group."

Now why would you emphasize this is an *advocacy* group, then follow
that with :

"When I ask about issues, I generally use help forums and mailing
lists,"

....other than to be saying you're not going to give an honest account
of Mac problems in this group?

You seem to find it convenient to forget we're discussing a problem
reported by a Mac owner, not by me or Tom Elam.

For you to jump in to suppress that with the claim you've never seen
such a thing is very dishonest, especially since you probably don't the
same type of Mac, and that dishonesty is underscored by your attempt to
steer the OP out of this group.
