Exactly! He posts the way he does to see how many down votes he gets. He must have inside info to know who votes his posts down. There must be at least a dozen or so users who do it on a regular basis. The whole post voting is entertaining in itself. Anyone who posts facts that don't favor Apple gets down voted. Anyone who is the least bit critical of Apple gets down voted.
The other day I got downvoted into oblivion for saying that if Apple had had the "night mode" in their eBook reader first, they'd be suing everyone else who implemented white-on-black. They get it last, though, and it's obvious and not innovative.
