moderate the replies and provide gratis support for Cocoa on a list as
the Apple employees regularly do then be my guest, make your own.
Otherwise, don't cry about how you feel someone else's toes were
stepped on by abuses of power.
Being a member of this list and following the posted rules isn't
really complicated:
1) Ask a smart question, get a smart response - this even has a
multi-page home on the 'Net, I suggest reading, highly interesting
2) DON'T discuss NDA'd materials - honestly, this is just common sense
3) Don't post others' private messages without their approval - again,
common sense
Note that he posted others' private messages to the list twice in the
same day. He replied on-list to my (not clearly marked, but) private
message warning him NOT to post private messages on-list.
Personally, I do not think he should be banned eternally, because
(given the public apology and all) it seems that he does finally
realize what he was doing did not agree with policy and he would
probably take care not to repeat this mistake in the future. However,
the moderator is the moderator and that is not me, so I'm not going to
argue.
