Jeez, I was just trying to be helpful. It sounded like the guy had
some misconceptions about using Cocoa for this kind of work. It's
easier than you think. I figured I could give a bit of information
about that, which would then save him a whole lot of trouble later on
if he ultimately had to make the switch.
So, my deepest and sincerest apologies for attempting to be helpful by
stepping outside the bounds of this mailing list. Next time I'll be
sure to stick to suggestions which, while useless, will not offend.
Oh, and by the way, thanks for trimming the quotes in the message to
make me look like an ass. I have repaired them above.
Mike
