On the other hand, we can also start to count the people who run for
the hills when they see your name in their inbox  etc etc etc.

Anyway,

Which part of "Stop wasting developers time with your whining"
is it that you don't understand ?


Core gave you what you asked for, you didn't like it, so now you
come whining back asking for something which suits you better.


When my kids ask for something, I will consider their request and
tell them the outcome.  If they ask me to reconsider, supplying new
information, I reconsider.

If they a second time in the hope that I might magically have changed
my mind I tell them to stop nagging.

If they ask a 3rd time, they loose some privilege for nagging me.


You're up to nineteen or twenty on this issue, and even a majority
number of core members telling you in direct words to stop nagging
doesn't seem to have any effect as far as I can judge my in mailbox...


Let me try to cut it entirely down, in the hope that you can
understand it:

	1.  You have some merits in your complaints.

	2.  You behaviour and presentation totally sucked.

	3.  Mostly due to 2 you lost the case, in spite of 1.

	4.  Now shut up and bear it or bloody leave the project.
