tic, let's use your data
My proposal is that acting like a smug jerk is inherent in human nature, that a given percentage of the population, regardless of their computer choice, does that regularly.

In several other posts you have stated as a fact that Apple users are taller, more handsome, and have nicer hair than Windows users (or something to that effect). Isn't it likely that tall, handsome, uber-people would tend to be more smug than short, ugly, smelly people like me, Cayble, and ShadeTree? Unless you want to append "modest" onto the long list of wonderful traits shared by the Cult of Mac?

Really guys, we should all be grateful that we even get a response from the Mac faithful considering how superior they are. "We're not worthy, we're not worthy!" wink
