    I think you are seriously dearranged in the head if you think Steve Jobs is in charge of selecting what ftp server is shipped with osx... im pretty sure it was some project manager not jobs him self... so i believe your end remark of first paragraph should be "Thanks Apple".... Ofcourse i could be wrong..

    Sorry to disappoint you, I'm as straight as one can be, it just seems you're reaching out. All the signals are there: anger, denial, insults, taunts... the way a 12year old begs for his first kiss.

    There are several community groups and counselors who can help you feel comfortable with who you are.

    Let go of the fear and insecurity. We don't hate you. There there, feeling better?
