Bottom Line:
No where did you explain how you came to have it. Thus it looks illicit and
thus, people like me wonder. Yes, I question your abilities as a leader if
you fail to tell the story and look like you're privy to cheating. That's
why I asked "what am I missing." I was missing the facts you failed to
provide here - and possibly to the websites, and definitely on your .mac
account.
I'm glad you didn't cheat.
I'm glad you're enjoying Panther. It *is* great!
I hope you'll change your website.
I wonder if Apple knew you'd posted that site there if you'd still have that
account.
