I did try to explain it at first. But when somebody that clearly has not given the NH architecture a try keeps going about how it should all be different, and complaining that it's broken... it's frustrating. When I started with NH, the first thing I did was RTFM. Then I made lots of mistakes, but instead of blaming them on the framework not doing whatever I thought it should be doing, I learned to work with it. "Select is not broken". In the few cases that I found stuff that was, indeed, broken, I opened Jira issues, with patches when I knew how to create them. > It's very easy to help users AND be nice.

Of the hundreds of emails I've sent on the list, a small percentage is "not nice", and it's directed at those users who _don't_ seem to care about our work. As others have pointed out, the person originating this thread expects NHibernate to be something that it isn't. So he probably shouldn't use it, at least for that project.
