Yup, I agree with this.

Many people like faceless entities though. The illusion that something benign is behind the screen, driven by altruistic motives that plan, design and execute by committees.

Just ask this guy.

well, I do.

I think everyone's desktop should look like that.

and, if it did, more people would stop being so afraid to actually USE it.

i love apple, because people buy into them, and i own their stocks. i tell all my friends and their friends to buy iphone because its awesome, and i tell myself to stick with phone companies that do not bend down to any carriers and make $$ on apple stock.

@sdesai

ysss is an example of that type of rare poster who can intelligently and rationally debate and discuss the pros and cons of an issue or item/concept/product, etc with out necessarily being a supporter.

This is where the men are separated from the fanbois and, incidentally, what makes a great post to follow.

A lot of readers don't understand this and people like ysss and cap'tn corrupt, for example, are attacked due to others ignorance. That is why I also enjoy when posters such as gerbick comment, they tend to challenge the current line of thought in the thread.

And the beauty of having these posters is that you dont have to agree with them, but you can enjoy a good debate/conversation.

This is what the average fanbois is not able to fully comprehend when reading such posts.

just my $ 0.02 worth.
