I am asking questions on this list an an effort (strained at that) to get
productive stuff done and questions answered so I can make MacHg better, so
users around the world can use a better GUI for Mercurial on OSX. So they can
have a smoother, more polished, richer, and more productive experience using
Mercurial on OSX. Thats it. If you or others have a problem with that stated
goal, then thats your problem.

Again, since I don't follow the contents of the day to day commits on the
development list, I was basically asking. "I thought there was a known problem
on this... What's the status of it? Can I get updated on what is happening here?
Maybe something has already been added, and I can update to that? Maybe some
people are privately trialling stuff before figuring it out to the stage they
can send it in as a patch, etc? Can I test anything for anyone?" That sort of
thing...

Imagined conspiracies to the contrary, about me somehow showing disrespect by
asking these questions, is ludicrous...  Reread my original message.  It
really is as innocent and harmless as it reads.

I am not going to waste any more time on this... I am going to continue
working on adding features to MacHg...
