It's called being polite and leaving the door open for him to speak his own mind if he so chooses.

Fortunately this isn't nexenta-enterprise-support, or green-bytes-enterprise-support, this is zfs-discuss. We're here to talk about zfs as it's implemented in opensolaris.

People keeping the discussion on-topic by telling you/whoever this isn't the proper place to discuss those closed appliances also has nothing to do with this forum being neutral. If you want to debate the pro's and con's of fishworks, you're free to do so, but this isn't the proper place to do it. Start your own forum. Start a blog. Call up your local sales rep and ask to speak to an engineer. You've got all sorts of avenues to have the discussion, but this isn't one of them. --Tim
