I agree it's bad form to post private framework info on an Apple-
sponsored mailing list, but it sounds like anyone submitting a 
message like, "I'm using NSxxx and the docs say ... but this isn't 
what I'm seeing - instead, what appears to be happening is ...." 
would also be guilty of reverse engineering and therefore posting 
against the rules.  Luckily we don't have these kinds of experiences 
with the Appkit ;-).

Best,
