Behaviors with discrimination from the michael-amorose.com guy

  • Hi guys,

    I don't want to take much of your time on this issue, but since I got
    this rude reply, several guys had sent me mails on the same
    experiences from this michael-amorose guy(not only in lists.apple.com,
    but also others like omnigroup).

    Thanks to Scott, thank you for your job; I really appreciate it.

    Best,

  • I think this situation has had enough airtime, and I prefer to handle
    the moderator stuff in private email.
    Let's stick to discussing Cocoa & its environs.

    Thanks
