Freshly Squozen Pulp

Since Brent Simmons is keeping me waiting for NetNewsWire 2.0 I thought I had another look at Freshly Squozen Software's Pulp Fiction (Lite). And this is what it showed, after I deleted my inbox. Do I need to say more?
Pulp Fiction in action
Brent, please come up with something good, or even when not, I'll definitely stick to NetNewsWire...
If anybody really wants me to tell me what is good about PulpFiction feel free to comment here...

We've got an email address, a support site, and more for those kinds of questions. The negative count in the inbox is a bug we fixed in version 1.0.2.

Bug reports on blogs really don't help us find the issues. We've worked with you, Dominik, before with FTPeel. Get in touch with us if you have questions, concerns, or crash logs.

Yeah, I'd use the support forums if I would consider myself using the software. I'm one step before that, just looking at the thing. And that's were my blog posting comes in. I occasionally write about software I like and software I don't like. And when it comes do Pulp Fiction it's sadly one I don't like and simply don't get. It's just like people posting about BBEdit and SubEthaEdit, some like BBEdit more, some SubEthaEdit. It's just opinion, that's what my blog is about. Opinion, my opinion. I also ranted about iPhoto and PHP on this blog, so don't feel especially targeted :-). I'm aware that you don't like bad publicity like this, who does.
About the FTPeel bug report: I'd still be happy about a change there, because frankly using FTPeel without beeing able to use SubEthaEdit keeps me from using FTPeel as sole FTP program. I understand that using LaunchServices causes the problem, but as [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openFile:filename withApplication:@"SubEthaEdit"]; which martin uses in SubEthaFari works even with multiple copies of SubEthaEdit, there should be a proper way to do this.

And for the record: I used the Pulp Fiction Lite 1.0.2 when I was experiencing this, so maybe there are cases where the bug is still there.
