[Adium-devl] REMOVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Caleb Chaney]

My apologies for sounding abrasive.

For the record, I'm not a developer but an avid user who enjoys  
following the development of one of my very favorite open source  
projects. I certainly don't speak _at all_ for this fantastic project.

Also, I apologize to the devs for potentially marring your stellar  
reputation.

No need to apologize for singling me out, Chris, I was completely in  
the wrong.

Thanks for a great client, guys.

Caleb
