This is ridiculous. 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.
