That is, of course, not at all what I wrote.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt by assuming that you actually
understood my point, which is that you are writing multiple long
posts on comp.lang.python with no content about programming in
Python, and that that's inappropriate.  Assuming that you're
intelligent enough to understand that, I can only conclude that
you are deliberately lying about me.

(On the other hand, if you actually believe what you wrote above,
that raises more serious concerns about your veracity.)

The fact that you would lie about something so easily verifiable
does not fill me with confidence that you're being truthful about
whatever issue you're talking about with respect to Apple and Wi-Fi.
It's obviously something that you consider very important, so you
might consider not behaving in a manner that will piss off reasonable
people and lead them to question your honesty.

I lack both the background and the interest to directly verify or
refute your claims.  For all I know, everything you've been saying
might be perfectly accurate.  But because of the reputation you've
constructed for yourself here, I can't be sure of that.

I urge everyone participating in this thread to *at least* drop
comp.lang.python from the "Newsgroups:" header line, even if Maria
adds it back.  (I've left it in place for this followup, since I'm
discussing topicality in comp.lang.python.)
