The people enforcing this policy are applying a blanket policy to a  
situation which (IMO) makes no sense.  I forward every "disgruntled"  
email on to the people in question.  Since they are the defenders of  
"Apple's public image", it seems fairly possible that it may  
eventually sway them.  The more public the griping, the better.

So yes, 'me too' emails are potentially useful.
