I must say that this thread has been tremendously helpful for me, personally. To engage with like-minded people (with whom I often disagree in the normal course of stuff-on-this-site) about something near and dear to my heart, which has absolutely nothing to do with Apple or Macs or anything like that, is, somehow, wonderful. It will remind me to be kinder in future, because I tend to be snarky about really stupid stuff. And I have offended people, I know. I will try to get better about that, because this thread has reminded me that this is a community, and it is populated by people who care, even if I, personally, don't agree with what they care about. No matter. I will learn to get over myself, and not to judge others.
Except those who don't love kittys, of course.
End of anti-rant.
