Apple REALLY doesn't like me now

I'm not making any friends at Apple. But with friends like this who needs enemies...oh wait, wrong expression. (When in Rome...) I got 2 emails today from Apple telling me they've deleted my posts on their discussion boards! And they are getting faster at it too. The first time I got an email from them, it was deleting a post that was a week old. The 2nd time (this morning) the post was about 2 days old. The 3rd time (this afternoon), the post had only been up for about an hour! I've been flagged!

Here's the latest email:

It's too bad too, because I really liked the post I created (the 3rd one). What I did was I went through the forums and collected user names of people who said they had been crapped on by the 1-10-06 updater. Any guesses how many I found? If you guessed 56, you're right! What is interesting is that probably 95% of these users had signed up to the Apple forums and become members just so they could post on this issue (myself included). I posted the list with everyone's user name in a thread called "Official List of users affected by the 1-10-06 updater". I threw in a few sarcastic remarks about Apple's customer service and BAM! I'm censored by Apple within the hour.

In other news, the conga line is moving along, albiet slowly for now. We've currently got 5 people registered under the current referral link(http://ipods.freepay.com/?r=26490881) BUT, only 2 of the 5 have actually completed an offer. 5 offers are need to get the iPod, then it's the next person in line's turn which at this point is Carolyn. If you have any questions about the process please email me or leave me a comment. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, see the post directly below this one.

Hey man I would be the first person to join the line but I already signed up for a deal through that site to try and get my buddy Chris one....do you think that would be an issue?

Oh Snap! My fellow iPaperweight user!

I don't think you can do 2 offers on the same site.
