I know you meant well, but next time, make sure you've verified that the
application in question (FontPimp, in this case) is indeed a Mac app and not

P.S.: You may not have noticed that I'm somewhat of a regular around here,
but I won't hold that against you - I've never seen you here, either.  =)
Regardless, it is indeed nice to meet you, even if I felt the burning desire
to respond with a bit of good-natured acidity in my reply.  ;)
