Hi Corbin. While I know you are NSTableView guy and would have been an ideal person to answer, the comment wasn't directed at you specifically. It's just a general frustration with the cocoa-dev list in that, on top of being flooded by newbie questions, seems to go silent when someone asks a more advanced question, one that isn't actually covered in the docs or via a Google search and might generate a more interesting answer.

I don't know if you are still paying attention to this but since you did take the time to read the post and comment, if you could provide some confirmation on the problems I ran into, that would be helpful.
