There's probably some kind of analogy to the present situation, to the actual topic of this thread, but I don't want to think about it.
I think you're overanalyzing this but your point is clear.
Sometimes the Mac people come off as Eumenides to the non-Mac people. That much is apparent. But it is also true that the construction "blessed ones" can be construed as a satirical or deprecating reference as in "you think you are the Eumenides but you are actually nothing more than dogshit". I think that nobody intended to deconstruct that to this level. I think that dogs and cats can play together. Good classical scholarship, by the way. It never would have occurred to me if you hadn't brought it up. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
