You call BFS, I say maybe or maybe not. Definitely not for the industry, but maybe for Apple in cases like this...who knows?
I just wanted to present something that was "on the other side" of the experience than the original story. The truth is almost certainly somewhere in between calling it SOP and calling it a "gagging order." Thanks for making my daily to-do item of being an inflammatory individual to many so easy.

I do warranty/repair claims all the freaking time with any number of suppliers, and I have *NEVER* had to sign a confidentiality agreement. *EVER*. Good gods, is there anything Apple can do that won't have the fanboys and fangirls crawling out of the woodwork to defend them? I swear, Steve Jobs could sh*t in a box, and people would still be lining up buy it, and saying it doesn't smell. At least people *complain* about Microsoft's misdeeds. #endif -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Derek Lidbom Director of Technology and Interactive Development, Trone 336.812.2010 dlid...@trone.com http://www.trone.com/ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail communication and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information for the use of the designated recipients named above.
