I dont really care if its your last post, first post or otherwise,
Life will move on, with or without you.
however stating lies and claiming these are facts based on a figment of your
imagination will not stand
By saying some people are not supposed to be on LUG since they are Apple 'fans'
shows that you would prefer to hand pick who joins LUG,
unfortunately, that will never happen, so its better you stop dreaming
I dont care if you like Steve Jobs or not, its not my business,
His achievements are marked in stone, for the entire universe to see
Of course different people will like him and hate him, some hate him out of
envy, and my guess is you are in that category (remember its' just a guess - i
could be wrong)

Subject: Re: [LUG] RIP: Steve Jobs
Cavin, as requested by Kyle this will be my last post on this thread.
You keep using the word "hate". To be honest both love and hate are
feelings I reserve for a very few people, and not for any multi
national corporations. Steve Jobs never figured highly enough in my
life to come any where near either of those emotions. To be honest
your devotion to this man seems to me a little sad.
Can you just point out where I claimed to be the leader of any LUG, I
have forgotten it?
Can you just point out where I claimed to be anything other than an
individual, I have forgotten it?
The fact that people are deserting apple in such numbers seems to
suggest I am right. The market is voting......
