dude, don't fucking hang flame bait out like that.. you *know* that i 
would have said the same thing if you developed it for Opera only. and 
believe it or not, its got nothing to do with you.

its a different issue only in that it happened a couple months ago. it 
has been brought up numerous times here(i believe) and on admin. you 
just choose not to respond, like you've choosen not to respond to some 
of my questions in this thread.. *shrug*

you found the time to jump in with it to begin with, as well as this 
latest feature..

hey, reminder: you're not the only one doing work. don't get snippy when 
others that do just as much as you get upset when they see zero input on 
something they're working on get changed. yes, we're all busting our ass 
blah blah. it is fun except when you come through like a fucking mac 
truck with a fuck-everyone else attitude. for me at least, i can't speak 
for anyone else. you're only getting 'reamed' because this has happened 
before(lack of input, heads up, anything in the way of what is going on)

i don't know what to tell ya, except that there *are* rules here even if 
they're unspoken. #1 rule is noone just goes off and does shit because 
we all work together. its your choice to help out and be part of that 
group, and we all appreciate that. don't threaten to take your ball and 
walk away like that either.. its your choice what you spend your time 
on. while you spend it here, i'd expect for you - and anyone else - to 
play by the rules

You bet!

My statement against platform specific *features* doesn't just go for 
this either.. I just don't think its worth all this chatter, and still 
waiting for an answer to:

Thanks bunches!
