    How is it looking now that Alan Browne formally publicly left the group?

    Anyway, I think the good news with nospam and Alan Browne gone is that the >> hundreds of denials of what Apple products truly are, is left only to 51.


    I miss nospam. He was so dry and matter-of-fact that he made me laugh, much like the comedian Steven Wright.

    I (think I) understand why you miss nospam, where I fully agree he was dry
    and matter of fact, and better yet, of all the Apple trolls, he knew the
    most about Apple products, particularly about the radios & protocols.

    He and Steve would endlessly spar about such things, where even I had to
    let it all pass by without delving too deeply into their discussions.

    He knew so much that I suspected he worked for Apple at some point, but
    then I discounted that because his excuses were not at all inventive.

    Most of his excuses were so lame that I could tell his IQ wasn't up to par, although, I must say he was smarter than the rest of the Apple trolls.

    But, of course, being smarter than, oh, say, 51, isn't saying anything.
    Neither is saying someone is smarter than Jolly Roger or Lewis (his twin).

    In summary, what I immensely disliked about nospam is he felt no need to
    ever tell the truth about anything - and that is why I think he was a despicable person. It was as if Apple paid him to defend to the death.

    However, what I liked about nospam is that he knew more about Apple
    products than all the rest of the Apple trolls combined, did.

    I miss that knowledge.
