Nah, it's just that you've made yourself persona non grata over at the Bannister.org forums by constantly nattering at us about how we "must" add Intel 440FX chipset support to MESS, and given the amount of developer overlap between there and here, I can't think of a single solitary person on these forums who would even remotely be willing to take requests from you as to what "must" be added to MESS. Please just go away.
