   I should clarify that Amazon chooses only thousands of people   
   for the Amazon Vine program where they allow us to order any   
   item of any cost (up to eight items every single day) as long   
   as we review 80% of them every half year evaluation period.   
       
      
   On reddit and elsewhere, they've estimated Amazon chooses to invite perhaps   
   only one out of every half million reviewer of products on their site.   
      
   Amazon doesn't publish those numbers, but I've asked everyone on these   
   groups and so far only I have been invited so that shows selectivity.   
      
   My only point for clarifying this is that the Apple trolls, who defend   
   everything Apple does, to the death, always love to attack the person.   
      
   For example, Chris calls me "a moron" simply for quoting what security   
   professionals wrote. There's no other reason. I posted the truth.   
      
   Hence, to Apple trolls like Chris, anyone posting the truth is   
     "a moron"   
      
   So be it.   
   None of us on Usenet have such a thin skin as to be put off by actions by   
   these Apple trolls who are desperate to control the narrative on Apple.   
      
   They actually hate that Apple does all these things.   
   But they can't logically find any other way to defend Apple to the death.   
      
   But defend Apple to the death they must do.   
   So, they get personal.   
      
   They call anyone speaking the truth about Apple, "a moron".   
   So be it.   
      
   If that's their best defense to the truth about Apple,   
   then that defense alone tells us what they think about Apple.   
      
   Anyone telling the truth about Apple, is, to them, "a moron".
