   I imagine you may be referring to me here, since I was the only other person   
   to reply to you so far and you haven't written back.   
      
   There was nothing in my message that even came close to paraphrasing "Mystic   
   is the best thing in the world since sliced bread." I don't even use it. I was   
   simply trying to fill in the blanks you seemed to have had in regards to   
   Mystic's closed source reasoning, since I witnessed it. As well as pointing   
   out that every feature you don't like can be disabled. You are not forced to   
   use any of them.   
      
   I'd love to see a python clone of Mystic, though!   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
