That much is apparent. However, that's no excuse.
Haughty lectures about "Oracle has it" not being good enough could hardly be more out of place here.I have no idea how you arrive at the conclusion that I was delivering a haughty lecture. Somebody asked if PostgreSQL would consider applying patches he is ready to write, somebody who seems not to be familiar with the way PostgreSQL development works, so I tried to give helpful pointers.
Your tone of voice did. Plus, you took it on yourself to explain
"how things are done in the Postgres community". I always use
hints and Josh Berkus as an example "how things are done in the
Postgres community" and why is the Postgres progress so slow. You
have just provided me another perfect example of the "community
spirit".
If you are under impression that I want to take part in a conversation, then you're sorely mistaken. And I have to adjust my style of writing to make things even more clear. As for Jeff, I don't need to 'champion him'. He did that all by himself. In his place, I would simply ignore both this topic and you, Mr. Postgres Community.To put it as politely as is possible in this case, shut your pie hole.I think you have just disqualified yourself from taking part in this conversation. I recommend that you don't embarrass Jeff Holt by trying to champion him.
