Yes, it's the people, never Apple.  Spoken like a true, brain dead Apphole.

Run a Mac, expect some very weird problems.  Remember "just works"?

A random problem that is not encountered by most people but is
encountered repeatedly by one person is almost certainly that person.

I think the conclusion there is don't answer a fool.

He probably hasn't contacted his clients yet or they don't know about 
the bugs or don't use all apps.

How did you determine that the correct characters were hiding behind 
those spots?

Sierra didn't cause me any problems with my Apple ID.  In fact, it 
actually fixed a problem.  I started getting spam at the Apple ID 
address, so I created a new address for it.  I probably should have 
logged out of everything first (if I could even remember what was logged 
in) because one or more items (I've already forgotten which) kept asking 
for the password and rejecting it because it was using the old ID.  Even 
though the password did not change, it wasn't valid for an account that 
no longer exists.

Sierra did however, put a few preferences I had changed back to their 
defaults.

The only other problem I've noticed is that after working for a while in 
LibreOffice Calc or Writer, suddenly *every* operation produces a 
spinning beachball for half a minute or more before doing what was 
wanted.  Other apps seem to work fine while I wait for LibOff.  And 
quitting LibreOffice and relaunching fixes it.  So it's probably not 
Apple's fault, but it's interesting that it started about the time I 
upgraded.
