I got Bit Message running on my Mac.
Since I didn't want to use the .dmg package as mentioned on https://bitmessage.org/forum/index.php/topic,1690.0.html, I went through a lot of steps to get it going.

Some hints: Download sqlite and Python 3 yourself.

Bit Message is now running and it spits out a lot of messages(to say it politely).

I wonder if we need this Bit Message.
Why not communicate here on the forum like we have been doing ?

Same applies to Google Docs, do we really need that ?
Google already knows way too much about us...
And besides that, I haven't been able to see the document yet, don't know how to open it since I have no link to it.

Sorry if you think I am too negative, but that's how I see it.

Not too negative, you raise an awful lot of good points!

Really? We can't use the forum as it's not private. PMs wouldn't work well either, as everyone would have to respond to everyone etc.
This fact makes the other points moot.

As for Google, if you sent Soniq your email address then he will have mailed it with the sharing link.
Just add that mail address as a google account address (no name, address, shoe size etc required).

I understand most Apple users have been spoon fed functionality thus removing the need for anything technical beyond topping up an iTunes account, but it's not hard.

(Disclaimer: That last bit was a joke btw, I know there is a difference between Mac user and iPhone/Pad user, and mean no offence)
