OIC. The previous discussion didn't seem to indicate that, and I'm
puzzled by the turn the discussion had taken before I'd joined it.

I then said:

``If you are a connoisseur of all things Mac OS X,
  you may also agree with my belief that the Dock

``My personal view on this one is that yes it does indeed justify

  workings of OS X I’ve found that it can be quite handy to see all of

  interactivity of the Dock gives the design a bit of
  personality. ''
