  21. I seldom drop remarks, but I read some of the
    comments here "How to restore iPhone to a specific firmware version".
    I actually do have a couple of questions for you if you do not
    mind. Could it be simply me or do some of the remarks appear like they are written by brain dead folks?
    :-P And, if you are writing at other online sites, I'd like to keep up with you. Would you make a list of the complete urls of all your public pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
