I have been, though lord knows why, since it's obvious you are only in this
to rant, and not actually get any help whatsoever that doesn't involve
personal favors from Apple of a kind not appropriate for this list, to help
you.
I am fully, completely, and utterly familiar with how changeip works. What I
am not familiar with is what you're thinking. Text is a terse medium. When
talking to people who don't know you, it is up to you to be MORE thorough in
your explanations, as opposed to playing "Bet you can't read my mind" games.
I was hoping that given the chance, you'd stop with such silliness.
However, it is obvious that you cannot be arsed to explain your problem
worth beans, because then you might get some help, and then where would you
be, but with a working system and no need to rag on Apple for not reading
your mind.
Maybe you should stop trying to play mind games on a mailing list, and sans
ranting and whining, state the problems you've had or are having in a
complete, clear manner. I know it's a foreign concept, but DO give it a try,
it seems to be all the rage with the kids these days.
