My biggest concern is that whilst most sensible folk are wary of following links in email and social media, when they are seeking help and advice - in what they perceive to be a *SAFE* place, the Apple Support Communities (ASC) forums - they won't hesitate to click on a link provided by one of the resident 'gurus'! Etresoft, the developer of EtreCheck, has even admitted in forum posts that he has deliberately 'fudged' links which he has provided in order to "keep things simple" for the naive enquirers! That is truly "Bad Form" in my opinion. Ask him if you don't believe me! -- David Shared with 'ucsm'!
