"their own idiotic reasons" whatever.

I have my reasons. The skinLF package, which AquaLime uses, doesn't run as well under 1.4.0 as it does under 1.3.1. As a result, AquaLime is faster in 1.3.1.

1.3.1 is also smaller. For HD space misers, this may be a factor.

And regarding cut and paste, I'm a little confused. I am using (as stated) 1.3.1, and I have no problems cutting and pasting. ??

Anyway, for regular old LimeWire, you may as well use 1.4.0, but I at least have my reasons, since I'm not using regular LimeWire.
