Yeah stubbing that is trivial, Syncato has no use for that method right 
now.

Not completely, I was testing with NetNewsWire Pro. I was having a 
problem with getting the recent posts after creating a new post when I 
set it aside and I haven't had the motivation to revisit it yet.

Well clearly if you can tolerate the rough edges, it does work. The one 
major runtime gotcha with it is that it's leaking memory somewhere so I 
restart Webware once per day. The effect of that is minimal since 
webware is quick and the caches are stored on disk. It's been getting 
better in that area as the libraries have improved, but I haven't 
nailed everything down yet. In particular Pathan had a lot of problems.

Yep, that's exactly what it's for. :-)
