That's why we > can't even have "GNU Aquamacs". Sorry, but it's impossible to believe that there's _nothing_ that can be contributed back.

Very few people here have access to Macs, so we can't test whatever is visible there.

If you prefer me > to ignore and swallow those user's bug reports, We prefer to hear about bugs in emacs-22.1, EMACS_22_BASE, and CVS HEAD, so it is better to reproduces the bugs on one of those versions using emacs -Q, and then report it here.
