I'm so glad I didn't write the "Developer's Guide to Effective E-Mail!" :)

You're point is taken, but I don't think the comparision is entirely balanced. Of course Apple's code has bugs, and I've spent a lot of time working around some of them. As much as I hate to admit it, my application has bugs and I've spent a lot of time hunting those down too.
But Unsanity's APE injects unknown variables, code, and bugs into an otherwise stable and working application. That's what I take offence to. That's just my opinion, and it's worth every cent you paid for it.

User X already knows this.

They have, but I doubt it will do any good because the nature of the problem isn't a "bug" per say as it's a consequence of how the haxie was designed. I'm doubtful that they're going to rewrite it not to use a run loop just because my user whines about it.

I managed to address it for now, mostly as a favor to the user (who is one of my better beta testers).
