Please, do not sacrifice hours of sleep. No one here wants you to do
this. We want LyX development to be fun for you and if it is not, then
we have to find a way to make it fun for you again. It seems that LyX
development is so stressful for you that it really affects your life in
a negative way. We do not want this and it's not good for anyone.

Great, thanks for doing that.

This was not my intention. I just meant that the Windows installer was
the only thing left before beta. That is all I wanted to say. Nothing
more. Perhaps this is a language issue. I think I see what you mean that
"waiting" could mean that I am sitting around impatiently wondering
where the Windows installer is. There is another usage of the word that
simply means it's the only thing left.

In the end, there were a couple of issues that we hope to fix before
beta is released so my subject line was not even accurate.

I thought this is what you wanted. I thought you wanted help with
development of a Windows installer or for someone to replace you so that
LyX development would not be so stressful.

Yes I always think it is best to get everything out.
