the Newbies come out of the wood work whenever there is a particularly controversial post made in the forums. <br><br>For instance the Jeff Raskin story on the Story Discussion forum brought out several "newbies" who have a single post to their credit and many of which are never heard from again.

Yep, but I've been guilty of that on other forums. As long as the newbie makes an intelligent, well-thought out argument, I don't have a problem with it.<br><br>On a related topic, have you ever noticed that when a former Apple employee makes a crack about MacOS X's user interface, that employee is usually working at another company that is developing a new, "revolutionary" UI? It's as if they were using their fame at Apple to self-promote their new product.<br><br>
