   Hi badgolferman,   
      
   We've both been posting to Usenet for a very long time (as I remember you   
   and Steve way back when posting to alt.home.repair before the likes of   
   "micky" trolls turned into such as cesspool that Paolo Amaroso of aioe fame   
   simply blacklisted the newsgroup in its entirety - it was that bad.   
      
   One thing you must admit about me is I make mistakes. Not many. But I make   
   them. We both agree on that, right?   
      
   Another thing you must admit about me is that I accept them. Openly.   
   Publicly. You know that to be true also.   
      
   That mistake I admitted and apologized for, and I even explained it, which,   
   interestingly enough, is the same randomization that I explained just   
   moments ago on my header obfuscation.   
      
   You see, I know the value of a Usenet post isn't in the wrapping paper.   
   The value is inside the box.   
      
   Every day I get three boxes 'free' from Amazon Vine, for example, of up to   
   $100 a package (for a possible taxable-income total of over one hundred   
   thousand dollars a year in imputed fair-market-value income from Amazon).   
       
      
   I'm an "employee" of Amazon Vine, so to speak, with a maximum allowed   
   "income" of over $100K/year where three packages a day arrive at my   
   doorstep, and Amazon explicitly forbids me from speaking about the mere   
   package.   
      
   They're not giving me $100K/year in free stuff to talk about the headers.   
      
   Dumbshits talk about the packaging.   
   Amazon Vine doesn't want dumbshits.   
   There are plenty of them out there (9,999 of 10K people are dumbshits).   
      
   Amazon doesn't want dumbshits like the Apple trolls always prove to be.   
      
   They want intelligent well-educated knowledgeable people who can add   
   incisive detailed accurate information about what's *inside* that package.   
      
   That's me.   
   Why else did Amazon pick me to invite to Amazon Vine?   
      
   Did any of the religious zealots get invited to Amazon Vine, for example?   
   I doubt it. I'm sure you doubt it also.   
       
      
   But what you do NOT doubt, is that I speak fact, and, if, perchance, I make   
   a mistake, and if that mistake is pointed out to me, I openly admit it.   
      
   Don't I?   
   Do Apple trolls have the same ethical code of honor as I do, badgolferman?
