[TxMt] How Long Must We Wait for CVS Support?

[Court K.]

Alright already, geeze people. I was not the one who escalated the  
issue to start with. I asked for a feature, in a way that offended  
everyone obviously. I don't work for another company, I don't make  
editors. Obviously strongly suggesting and begging for a feature,   
gets everyone's panties in a knot. So, I will shutup and leave now.  
Thanks for clearing up the CVS support issue for me.

Best Regards,

Court Kizer
