I started my Mac_X group in what? - 2002 when I needed answers no one had then - in an easy to find manner. Now my list is still here and we're all good. Most groups are moderately 'loose', some are total topic-nazi. ONE Off-topic post gets you a flogging with the proverbial wet noodle, but most have a bit of Off-topic chat.
Many of us HAVE in fact brought small foibles to the attention of Apple. I'm having a strange issue currently in the new OS "Lion" that when my iMac goes to sleep, I wake it to find the ability to 'Zoom' in using scroll+ctrl or Comm+Option and + are all disabled. I only get it back with a restart. THAT is an anomally. No one has been able to reply to this issue, and I have submitted a bug report to the Mothership. As yet, nothing back from anyone, so I now either leave my iMac to *never* sleep and shut down at night, or when I go to work etc.
Having said this, it is still nice to 'vent' on group lists. SOMEONE albeit later down the line would come in with "Hey, are you still having that zoom issue?" or whatever and point me to a link about a fix.
I love some OT chatter, it brings us a bit closer together like a community and not just a bunch of distant Tech support drones.
I welcome your input too, Jack, if you even see a cool accessory, Case, stand, whatever, or app you discover is great, post about it! We're all going to benefit sometime from someone. Just like normal Eartheaon life day to day :-)

Why have an iPad group? Because I wanted to talk about iPads with people who also wanted to talk about iPads. That was actually my reason. No lie
~KM--\,,/(^_^)\,,/(^= I rocked this email on my iPad2 =^)---Give the "old man" (me) a break. If those sources were all encompassing, why have an iPad group ? I'm trying all sources, hoping to absorb as much as possible.
