MAC OS X tiger help for a Windows technician

[Brian Willoughby]

Everyone is making decent points, but can we just drop this now?

The best way to fight Dan's arrogant and unhelpful responses is if  
they disappear in the volume of helpful responses (and I mean  
responses with answers, not just chiming in about how bad Dan is).   
Perhaps Dan is just wearing thin because he often is the only one to  
reply to many of the questions.  Perhaps, also, this list suffers  
from too many members needing answers, complaining about Dan, and not  
enough people providing answers.

Then again, I don't read everything here, so perhaps my view is skewed.
