I've asked a series of technical questions about generalizing a patch you made and that I think is a good idea. In response, those questions have been met with a non-stop torrent of insults and abuse instead of answers, with only one eventual nugget of information in response to one of them -- that you ran into problems with mfid -- to redeem it. I'm done with this discussion. Hopefully we can have a real conversation about this at this some point after the release. -Nathan
