I'm not inclined to reread and quote the messages we exchanged back then (most of them in private IIRC), so in short from my memory: - you removed working code, replacing it with half-brewn wxGrid code that had some bad behaviour. I used the query tool heavily, and rely on it, and thus was annoyed seeing the main tool (at least temporarily) degraded. To repeat, I'm exceptionally sensitive about the query tool because it was the main reason to start work on pgAdmin. I know I made this point very clear. I recommitted the working stuff, leaving wxGrid code there for conditional compilation, you removed it completely again. Over the next weeks, I used my non-committed trunk (to stay working), and enhanced it quite a bit (I can recall it only partially, because I don't have any logs from that time since I started my own svn a while later. It covered e.g. Slony support that was broken as I found when using it). At the same time, you removed VC6 support, which I didn't realize immediately because I didn't contact svn for a while. When finally you understood the conditional compilation way I wanted to introduce, giving us back some common understanding, I tried to start to updating/committing and found my dev env f***ed up, with svn and my version severely diverged. Bummer. At that time I was heavily p***ed and decided that I could maintain my pgAdmin fork to my personal needs, and observing how fast I was removed from the pgAdmin team you seemed to like that. My offer to get and review my changes in order to extract them for the official pgAdmin never got an answer. Regards, Andreas
