Now, a key point of my answer that apparently you missed but which
was grasped by others who read here: there is nothing magical about
UG leaders except a willingness to volunteer and help others. I guess
my choice of phrasing was a little too subtle for you. What I
actually wanted to say was that I and others found your remark about
UG leaders rather insulting, implying that somehow I wasn't doing my
job. I would have been surprised it came from a UG leader except that
I know there is nothing magical about UG leaders.

Your subtlety was not lost on me. I knew exactly what you and another person meant. Nor is your sarcasm above too subtle. However, I find it strange that you are sensitive about this given that my message was not directed to you, but at the two negative responses Jose had received to a reasonable question.


This thread started with Jose asking about the difference between .Mac and Google's services. The two initial replies he received were only to state that Pages was an Apple program, and that Picasa was not available for the Mac. Both replies were from individuals that did not look beyond the obvious. That Jose knew that Pages was not a Google program (and that he meant a similar product that competes with iWeb), or that Jose did not ask about Picasa but about "Picasa Web Albums".

I don't consider it useful for UG leaders to respond to a message with only superficial consideration, and without addressing the original question. My admonition was a pointed suggestion to these individuals to consider their responses to messages. It seems I was too subtle, or that you've read my replies out of context.
