Whenever the iKooks respond, the _adults_ on this newsgroup have to ask...
*How can Lewis always be so _confident_ and yet, always so very wrong?*

FACTS that Lewis is completely and utterly ignorant of are:
a. The fact remains Apple is forcing a "re-logging in" of the iCloud account

b. Even as the user can remove Siri recordings _without_ re-logging in.

c. The user can also install a new iOS release _without_ re-logging in.

d. In fact, everything works fine _except_ certain Apple communication apps.

e. Apple won't even allow you to wipe out the old account & start anew.

f. The result is the user can't re-install an app after deleting it.

The _adult_ question in the SUBJCT line is why.
