   Nice side stepping of the issue, Edwin... does not change my point - you may   
   make fun of people who enjoy using Apple products and are happy when the   
   company does well.  Sure, it is a silly hobby - but we enjoy making fun of   
   you... your hobby is watching enjoy our silly hobby and then making fun of   
   us and trolling.   
      
   Our hobby may be silly, but yours is pathetic.
