I WILL get snippy at you for attacking *exactly* what I spend most of my time 
writing tools for.

Views was meant for publishing.
Nodequeue was meant for publishing.
Panels was meant for publishing.
The publishing module was meant for publishing.

You make have made some amount of money off of my tools, and I feel like I was 
just told that I'm working on the wrong platform. You tell me not to get snappy 
at you, and then go on to say the same thing again: I'm writing my tools for 
the wrong platform.

Thanks. I'm glad to know that a year and a half (roughly) of my effort is 
basically wasted. Still can't do what I want it to do, but hey it's still 
pretty good for Ber's company to make a few bucks off of. Hell yes I'm going to 
get snappy at you for that.
