Shawn, I second every sentiment in your message. Like you, I'm going to wait and see how things settle out before leaving, but yes, if this list only allows discussion of the Mac, I will be leaving as well. Doing that would make me very sad, I would miss all of you! As I've written before, this has been one of the best lists I've ever been on.
