   Hi Carlos,   
      
   I'm being nice this year, even on the Apple newsgroups, as an experiment to   
   see if I can help turn that newsgroup around and part of "being nice" is   
   not responding to trolls so you'll note I have long ago plonked Alan Baker.   
      
   Nonetheless, you felt the need to respond to him so I will only say that   
   I've never hidden who I am and many (many!) many times, I've pointed to XDA   
   threads of mine on all the OS Usenet newsgroups so I don't hide my posts.   
      
   The fact anyone would gleefully claim they're an utter genius for finally   
   figuring out after a dozen years of me saying so, is kind of funny though.   
      
   My point is for you to "confirm" the idiocy of someone like Alan claiming   
   to have figured out what was never hidden, is an insult to me and others.   
      
   For you to insult our intelligence so openly and readily is disconcerting.   
      
   If you don't realize how insulting it was your response, then think about   
   it and if you still can't figure out how wrong you are about it, just ask.   
      
   BTW, let's get back on topic.   
   Q: How many apps (including system apps) have read access to your contacts?   
   A: ?   
      
   When you find the number, the question I'd ask is "Are you surprised?".   
   --   
   That was just about as nice as I could have put it given my skill sets.
