John's email is pretty harsh, but I can understand why he's frustrated. I told you that I did not agree with your dislike for the term wraparound and I explained why. You sent a couple more emails telling me that I was wrong and, frankly, saying a lot of things that seem only tangentially related to the point that I was actually making. You seem to expect other people to spend a LOT OF TIME trying to understand what you're trying to say, but you don't seem to invest similar effort in trying to understand what they're trying to say. I couldn't even begin to grasp what your point was until Maciek stepped in to explain, and I still don't really agree with it, and I expect that no matter how many emails I write about that, your position won't budge an iota. It's really demoralizing. If I just vote -1 on the patch set, then I'm a useless obstruction. If I actually try to review it, we'll exchange 100 emails and I won't get anything else done for the next two weeks and I probably won't feel much better about the patch at the end of that process than at the beginning. I don't see that I have any winning options here. -- Robert Haas EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
