You need to settle down there Paul.

There would be no oom2 if you had of kept up with your coding. You know 
well my pipeline used ardour. Till one faithful day that you told me to 
put my monitoring while recording request in mantis. You know well that 
not naming the project has nothing to do with your anger.

It is no secret that it was muse2. They suggested we fork. We wanted to 
stay with them.

Get a grip and have a nice day.

Thanks!
