I have multiple time attested to the fact that I am NOT nor have I ever been an employee of Apple. Give it a rest Apple Hate Brigade Members.
I have frequently and often told all of you why I post Apple threads and on them. There are more than 700 of your fellow FreeRepublic members who have ASKED me to do it. I maintain the Apple/Mac/iPhone/iPad/iOS Ping list for the Apple interest group on FreeRepublic. Just like dayglored maintains the Microsoft/Windows Ping list for that interest group on FreeRepublic. That is the only reason. I am independently wealthy enough that I do not have to worry about any particular stock in which I have investments. I own a couple of businesses, I own rental properties. My income is NOT related to my appreciation of Apple devices and computers. Take a hint from Jim Robinson who posted just the other day before he ZOTTED another Freeper who kept up this line of Apple Advertising idiocy:
"And for the record, we have no advertisers and we take no “corporate money.” Swordmaker posts articles that he and his ping list members enjoy reading. I sincerely doubt he’s paid to do so and I can guarantee you that I am not. You may ignore the threads you don’t like if you wish. — Jim Robinson
Jim Robinson is the final word on this, not either of you. Give it a rest. Take his advice: Ignore the threads you don't like! That means not posting negative, nasty accusatory comments about the people who do post and enjoy those threads.
Certainly not my quote but thanks anyway.
\happy you are doing well with your businesses
