To be fair, nospam would say "it's not needed" or "no one wants it".

Yes. I knew you knew that. But when nospam said something was "not needed
and not wanted", it's always something that all the other platforms have.

Except Apple.

nospam's contract to defend Apple to the death apparently wasn't
 renewed.

 
Considering nospam's Shift keys were broken and he worked overtime to
defend Apple

You may be right as nospam was also using an old iPhone, as I recall.

He did repeatedly claim to be an app developer but I doubted that since he
didn't know the simplest things that even I knew, and I never claimed to be
a developer (because I'm not). I just dabbled in writing Android code.

maybe he was asking for more than Apple felt was worth
defending their name.

While nospam's denial of facts about Apple were numerous, the one value he
brought to the group was he did understand the radio technology rather
well.

I miss that information from him, as he knew some of it even better than I
did (as did Steve, who is also an EE), which is a welcome occurrence on
this Apple newsgroup to be able to learn something from the people posting.

Steve's document is hated by zealots because it's actually mostly correct.
