Yes, I do. |

Is putting something like "design lead" in quotes supposed to make it |

derogatory or something? |

Great. All the functionality which you've asked about is implemented |
| 15 |
solely in bash, as most of catalyst is bash. |

Good point. Perhaps I should refrain from posting any more updates to |
| 26 |
catalyst for public consumption. |

I'm really having a hard time following what you're saying here. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
The only thing that I *do* understand is that somebody needs to get |
| 36 |
their panties out of their crack. Did you miss the smiley at the end of |
| 37 |
that question that you have decided to quote ad nauseum? Yeah, that |
| 38 |
means it was a *joke* to be taken lightly. |

|

Did you even read what I said? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I said that the templates were *correct* and the code was wrong. How |
| 47 |
did you know it was wrong? Well, you reported originally that it didn't |
| 48 |
work as expected, so you *obviously* knew that it was wrong. Are you |
| 49 |
saying that you were able to assert that it didn't work, but at the same |
| 50 |
time didn't know that something was wrong? |

| 56 |
|
| 57 |
That wasn't my "argument" at all. First off, I wasn't arguing anything, |
| 58 |
I was making a statement. How you decided that this was some sort of |
| 59 |
"argument" to be had, I really don't know. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
You asked why it didn't auto-login, and I answered with a simple set of |
| 62 |
statements of why. I thought it would be funny to start off with a joke |
| 63 |
beforehand, which you blew totally out of proportion and then decided to |
| 64 |
start responding with some sort of thinly-veiled "insult" by calling me |
| 65 |
a "design lead" or something. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
I really don't know what you're trying to accomplish here. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
I was merely trying to point out why catalyst does what it does. I had |
| 70 |
no desire to get into some sort of pissing match with someone who is way |
| 71 |
too sensitive. Go back and re-read my emails. I am not trying to |
| 72 |
insult you. I am trying to *help* you answer your questions. |
| 73 |
Seriously. You need to just calm the hell down. I'm not *after* you or |
| 74 |
anything. I'm simply trying to explain to you why things are they way |
| 75 |
that they are. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
Also, you'll notice that the broken behavior that you experienced in |
| 78 |
catalyst has been changed in 2.0_rc50. Do you know *why* it was |
| 79 |
changed? Because you had found a bug, and I fixed it. It really is |
| 80 |
*that* simple. |

Honestly, be my guest. In fact, I implore you to do so. |

How about stepping back and taking a nice breather? It's just software, |
| 91 |
man. No need to get all pissy about it. |
