Didn't you think your argument could stand on it's own?
No, of course it does, I shouldn't have even had to have made it as it should have been self evident to everyone, but sadly that is obviously not the case.
You seem to have insider knowledge that Apple cares what is discussed here. History doesn't support that, though. Do you really think the site they set up to specifically request feedback, neatly ordered into categories is subordinated to this random hodge-podge of questions on innumerable diverse subjects?
Yes, I had a friend who used to work for Apple who assured me that their QA department did indeed go through the threads anually to see where users where having questions or issues and where improvments could be made. You'd be pretty foolish to think a company like apple would have user forums and not review them periodically. They of course don't answer any questions here, because their company policy is to keep all support going through official support chanels. This is all pretty obvious to anyone who has ever worked for any large corporation and makes a lot of sense.
Of COURSE their feedback and support chanels are the official way to get any information to them, if you think I don't think that you haven't read this thread, I've advocated that people use those several times in this very thread.
Because we followup on threads we have posted to in order to help out with technical problems that arrise. When the thread we have previousl posted to is updated, we check in to see what's going on. On this one and many others, its just more ranting and whining.
Obviously I know this, this is how I'm informed of new posts as well. I don't feel compelled to reply unless I have something of value to add or am answering a comment posed directly to me. You have not answered why someone who has nothing of value to add to the thread would post in the first place, or would continue to post. Saying that whining requires counter-whining is weak sauce.
The answer to this Technical question is, "It's gone, likely not to return based on Apple's history. Send Feedback to Apple as that is the location where Apple wants you to contact them with this sort of issue."
It is gone, is indeed the answer, and that has been established early in the thread.
Telling people that it wasn't needed or that async checking doesn't cause issues on slower connections or servers with multiple accounts and flood blocking is just failing to understand their specific needs and is the worst kind of reply possible.
Telling people to leave feedback in the official feedback page is only helpful if they haven't read the thread as that has been said doezens of times.
There are people in this thread that are much worse then all of the above, they come simply to argue, to be appologetics for a company and decision that they have no insider information about and misunderstand, and belittle other users opinions and needs, they'd be better off learning when to just leave things alone. Not every comment or thread needs a reply.
You don't have to agree, but the above all seems pretty self evident and obvious, I'm not even sure why you felt compeled to reply to my previous comment, I wasn't addressing you personally, just the general lack of understanding and respect that has been so prevelant in this thread. It has attracted some of the worst, least helpful, most belitteling, people that frequent this forum, which is a shame. More then half the comments in this thread are them or people responding to them, when really all that could be done without as it adds absolutly noting of value.
