This is in no way "yelling" at anyone or being a spoil sport. However,
I'd like to keep this list a technology list and attempt to stay away from the
chatty material. Many of us are subscribed to many lists, and don't have the
time to deal with off topic messages. I am not at all against friendliness and
social exchanges, but I don't want to see this list drift far off of the main
content and purpose for it. I don't want to see people leaving the list
because they think it has become a chat list and not a help and support list
for the Mac and iDevices.
Thanks
Take Care
