Once again _you've_ chosen to lump all Apple enthusiasts in the "fanboi"
group- not Mark or News. I only see a couple of fanboys in the iPhone
newsgroup. There are a lot of enthusiasts here as you might expect, but
off the top of my head, the only two frequent posters who've earned full
fanboi status are Oxford (and his various sockpuppets) and Vic
"FutureSchlock" Healey.

Guilty conscience, Michelle?

If Michelle is too modest to stand up for herself, I will. She deserves to
be at the top of the list! Hey, everybody, vote for Michelle!
