Why am I getting these? When the 3gs first came out, I seem to remember that Cara was quite adamant that discussion of it on the mv list was off topic so she created a new list for it. Surely, things like this would fit in better on the other list? Sorry if I spelt your name wrong btw Cara. On 0

I don't mind the updates from the Mac site but would rather get the full posting rather than just a half paragraph. I know that one reason updates come in this way is to encourage people to visit the actual site. But, I think its an extra and unnecessary step myself. On Sep 4, 2009, at 7:
