Okay. I've thought about this quite a long time, but I'm now closing the thread for the following reasons...

1.) Nothing good comes out of it, anyway.
What I mean by that is: The thread seems to provoke trolling. Either EdFx is a troll himself, or he doesn't know about it and is so p**d off that he can't word his posts more nicely. Either way: Older users have started to flame him, and I don't think that's appropriate either.

2.) EdFx is stating _various_ problems. Each of the subjects already has enough threads on the forum and _should_ be handled separately, anyway. So for those who want to discuss their opinions on what Apple should do about the Finder (10.5 to the rescue?) or the permissions thing, I suggest the opinions forum. Should you, EdFx, still want our community's support: Look for threads in the Mac OS X System & Software forum about each subject. If you truly can't find a fitting one, create a thread about _one_ problem and the community will, with your helpful information on setup and what you've tried, solve your problem. Same for the other problems.

If you're only here to create a flamewar, then you're in the wrong place. I suggest you read the board rules, should that be the case.

Good luck & good night. :P
