Frankly, I don't believe that you had much to do with getting consensus on moving to a new app. I believe Magnus did that, mostly by writing it. And I'm not complaining about whatever strong language you may have used in the past; I'm complaining about you showing up on this thread now, after the switch has already been made, to lob insults. >> And I think that's great, because hopefully it will >> eventually make this much nicer than what I had.

You said "essentially > unusuable". There's a big difference between those two phrases. Your > emails came off as "the new app is a disaster, we should revert > immediately", and I'm not the only one who read them that way. I stand by what I said. I find it very hard to use in the present state for the reasons that I set out. That was not intended as a request for a revert. I have subsequently written several emails clarifying my position on that point. If Magnus *wants* to revert it, that's fine. But I suspect he doesn't, and that's fine too. However, I'd very much like the features that are missing added back, and, yeah, I'm annoyed that they are missing. > If you're going to throw around negative hyperbole, expect to get it > thrown back at you.

OK, perhaps I'm overstating it. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
