Are yuo really that thick.
You've said you viewed them so HOW did you view then the magic of Jesus FC ?
He shared them to everyone by posting a link to this NG.
Anyone readong anything on this NG could see that link and use it just as I and everyone else did.

I can usually work at a problem until I can find the solution.

In this case, I'm stumped.

It would be great if your knowledge level could somehow advance to the
point where you no longer need to compare what you see to what others
see. Until then, I'm not interested in comparing anything with you.
That's something that kids do.

I do not see much problem with that. MUCH better than trying to compare to see
who is "better".

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

Indeed. You are quite right, Snit.

I strongly suspect that Kelly Phillips is simply unwilling to take the
risk of loading and running EtreCheck on her Apple computer.

As you know, it turned YOUR iMac into a 'brick'! ;-)
