Why? There is nothing in the information at http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-dev 
  that says that only Apple-supported APIs can be discussed on this  
list.  In fact, it says "As long as your question is specific to Mac  
OS X development, you're in the right place.".

I can understand why discussion of non-Apple-supported techniques is  
banned on lists hosted by Apple, but I do think that discussion of  
unsupported techniques can be valuable and this list seems like a good  
place to do it.  I don't have a problem with people saying "you  
shouldn't do that" but I think that saying "you can't even discuss  
that" is taking things too far.
