   That's how I read it as well.   
   The problem is that these Apple religious zealots will argue 24x7 in favor of   
   anything Apple. Look at the Airtag thread. It's an absolute hoot how the usual   
   suspects   
   turn a simple statement like "I use Spotminders tags" into some kind of attack   
   just because I use what I consider a better product for me than Apple's Airtag.   
      
   They are crazy as bedbugs.   
   But admittedly entertaining to watch!   
   ROTFLMAO!
