But the fact remains that the app is broken right now for people behind a corporate proxy to support a feature that currently does nothing. I've asked for explanations of what's going on behind the scenes to make this so necessary, but Guru has just told me to deal with it or use a different kitchen. All I'm allowed to know is what I can reverse engineer.

No, what I told you was I'm working on it and you can help if you want. Telling you why it is needed will not help you get it working, and it's not going to be removed.
BTW, it's not broken - I actually left it that way intentionally (task prioritization). No one should be using this software at work (before, during, or after). It's only because I'm not your mother/father or your boss and that some people have proxies in non-work environments that I'm willing to make it work in this manner.

As for his offer of help, well, if I can't use the kitchen behind a corporate proxy, is there really any chance I can get into the chatroom? Plus, I'm not a sysadmin here. I'm barely a local admin on my own PC. I even have to download .exe or .msi files via my phone and transfer them via ActiveSync, since I can't download them on our network.

Yes, there is a chance (although slim). Of course, you missed the whole email me part that wasn't in parenthesis at the beginning of the sentence. Nice to know you do know how to tether and choose to be difficult for the fun of it though.

It's clear I'm the odd man out here. I get that. I also get that the folks behind this project still hold a grudge against me for my sin against Helmi back in my Apache days. Small wonder I haven't been banned here. So fine. I'll go away.

Don't be ridiculous. You haven't been treated any different than anyone else. You're not the first person to have this issue, but you are the first person to throw a tantrum over it. That may work for you in other settings, but it has little positive effect upon me.
