The thing of it is, Pete, you really AREN'T helping anyone here on THIS thread. I can't say about what help you give on other threads. But here you simply repeat the same thing over and over again. Everyone who reads the thread knows your position. There's no need to keep popping in and repeating it. You've had your say, you are not a mod, if you can bring nothing new to the party perhaps you should simply not post on this thread anymore.
You warn about venting turning to ranting, yet you accused me of ranting when I gave a reasoned and clearly-defined view of what was going on re double-clicking being removed from our workflow options and my opinion of the direction Apple was taking with the computer OS. I could point out that your posting take on some of the aspects of a rant, as you keep repeating the same thing over and over again, even though it has been pointed out to you over and over again that you are not helping by posting. The most recent series of posts by Adam and others have been literate and to the point. They are exactly what is called for here, and are also clearly within the terms we all operate under. There is no reason for you or anyone else to step in and point out how they are incorrect, how they are finally getting the relevancy of posting feedback, or that something "really isn't any of your business." That smacks of elitism, and we are all equal here. Many of us have been here for more than a decade. (it's easy to check on each user and see how long they've been on this board, Pete), and have come to expect a level of politeness that I am not seeing in this thread from you.
Many of the people posting here have been Level 1's and Level 2's, which I personally think is an excellent sign that new posters/users are stepping up. I see no need for you to attempt to quash their right to post here by telling them continuosly to deal with the change, and that they should should have known what would happen when they updated. (And if they didn't, it was their own fault.) Everyone has the right to post here, even people who disagree with you. As, I must say, virtually every poster here has done.
Just about everyone on this thread knows how to use the feedback option. Reiterating over and over again that it is there does no good. Telling people who roll back to ML that they should now not be posting on a Maverick thread is ridiculous. They rolled back because of problems with Maverick, of course they should talk about it here. Telling people that this is a user thread and then telling people what they should know/have known, or what they should do, makes you sound like you are somehow in charge. You are not.
This thread serves a purpose. It has been helpful for people to read others' problems re workflow issues arising from the change in double-clicking of folders. I hope it continues. I also hope that, respectfully, you drop out of it, as you doing nothing to help here, and are actually creating some hard feelings with your obstinancy and apparent feeling of superiority. You are, again, not a mod (nor am I). Let it be, for everyone's sake. This is a good site, and this thread can survive and, possibly, flourish without you.
Thank you.
