        Perhaps because you're using a development-cycle based
release? Have you checked the version or the headers on messages sent
using it?

        How about you help all of us code it and improve it?

        Since the structure has changed substantially since the 0.0
release, I'd have to disagree. Why put extra time and effort into fixing
potential issues with features which may end up fixing themselves as the
underlying architecture of the application changes (witness: GAL)

        Apology accepted.
