Where else do people discuss OSX development (me being particularly interested in Cocoa development)?

I know about the Omni-sponsored list, MacOSX-Dev, which is quite valuable. Other than that, though, I wonder what other resources there are.

I visited the usenet group comp.lang.objective-c, which seems to mostly be dedicated to an incredible, vitriolic, roiling flame war regarding autorelease pools and ref counting schemes.

Can anybody recommend other venues? These forums are actually quite good for web forums, but the web just isn't as good at this stuff as usenet or email lists.

NSAutoreleasePool *pool;

pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

[output insertText: @"I don't know of any others. I don't think that there are very many... but on the topic of autorelease pools I hate how appkit autoreleases everything. I'd rather explicity release stuff when I am good and ready to release it. I hate having to make an autorelease pool if I have a loop that is done many times in which I some appkit function which autoreleases stuff. (Or else RAM usage will soar as crap is autoreleased but doesn't get back to the event loop so the memory isn't released for a while!)I haven't seen the flame wars but I can already see why they'd be there. Autorelease is evil."];
