foobaroo... You'r just throwing dirt at people...
Show me where I'm throwing dirt.
A. I don't know them
You're contradicting yourself, in earlier posts you say there's a promised feature set yet you don't even know what the feature set is. Truth is noone knows, thats why noone can say.
I don't consider tearing your way through to be the better way to program. Also it is a lot more legal to do it the way Ryan did
Tearing your way through? It's using internal functions like you would your own, it's not "tearing" through anything. As far as your concern of legality goes, AOL don't seem to have a problem with it seeing they've partnered with DeadAIM and also, the end user breaks the AIM EULA by using such programs, not the authors.
Then you talk about version numbers...
If you're going to be silly about it be my guest, but my point being, generally, a version number is indicative of where a program is at in its life cycle.
I have no problem with people standing up for friends, but your backing of Ryan and AIM+ is blind, you make claims left, right and center about Ryan and AIM+ yet you nor your friend have been able to back these claims up, I on the other hand have provided you with information you can
confirm for yourself.
