I don't remember saying that exactly, but I will say now that in
general I do respect the existing indentation, certainly more so than I
really want to.

And I hate them both, but anyway the code I committed had already been
written when we had that conversation.

I have to say that your recent attitude is not making me feel like
co-operating.

Fine. Thank you for fixing it. When did I ever claim to be (a) perfect,
or (b) using AbiWord? No. I was developing AbiWord because (a) it was
fun, (b) I needed something to distract me from my life, (c) I like
hanging out in #AbiWord, and (d) you weren't working on it any longer.

I have a lot of respect for the work you did originally on the Cocoa
port, and I am happy that you are once again working on it, but I'm
getting very sick of your complaining.

Unlike you, I am not a god who knows everything there is to know about
Cocoa. A lot of the work I've done on AbiWord has been about learning
how to use Cocoa, and the Tool Palette was just such an exercise. It
was never intended to be xp because it was too late for the 2.2
development cycle. No one has expressed a real interest in making it
xp, so why get so upset?

Now you stop with the B.S. I've lost count of the number of times I
told you about gtkmathview being in the tar-ball. If you don't want to
download the tar-ball is that really my fault? If you think people
shouldn't have to download it, then I agree completely, but you're a
developer and should at least have compiled gtkmathview yourself if you
didn't want the tar-ball.

Now can we please stop this arguing, because I've forgotten the last
time we agreed about anything.
