I was foolishly speaking out of the assumption that AFP support

of the Mac's advertised ease of use hinges upon its reliability, but
now that I've taken some time to consider the official client's
recent performance and look at the dates in the footers, you are
correct; such idealism has no place in the new order and I cannot
thank DTS enough for providing me with so many opportunities to
learn this fact.
Speaking as someone who spent 16 years working in software development
at Apple:
This kind of attitude is practically guaranteed to antagonize anyone
at Apple who has the capability to address (or explain) the problems
you're describing. Engineers and managers are all primates first, and
the immediate human reaction to insults is not "gee, this guy seems
upset, it must be a serious problem, let's see what the issues are";
it's more like "fuck you too, Jack."
I didn't work in the networking or filesystems group, so I don't know
why AFP might have regressions in 10.5, but it's not because no one
worked on it or "deemed it worthy of some attention".
I'm not saying you don't have grounds for frustration. Writing an
email like the one you did is understandable. But sending it is not.
The proper follow-up is to select all, delete, count to ten, and then
write a second draft that might actually help your cause.
