I hope that this gets through to Tim Apple but I suspect it won't. I don't think that Tim believes he is doing anything wrong. My own hypothesis about his behavior is that he regards himself as a sort of sin-eater for engineers and designers, the ghoul who has to appease authoritarians to allow the creative innovators under his protection to create our salvation through product development.
