De: "Howard Chu" hyc@symas.com This is the Developer's list. Your post is off topic and you should be ashamed of yourself for posting it here.
sorry for the noise, I knew this is the developer's list but after seeing all lists:
openldap-announce OpenLDAP announcements list openldap-bugs OpenLDAP bugs discussion list openldap-commit OpenLDAP source repository 'commit' list openldap-devel OpenLDAP development discussion list openldap-fortress OpenLDAP Fortress Discussion list openldap-technical OpenLDAP Technical Discussion list
I thought this belongs here because the nature of the discussion. If you want me to move this thread to another list, please let me know.
I really thought that we could start a healthy discussion about what and
when a widely requested feature should be included. And judging from amount of posts/discussions I've found digging last weeks I'm pretty sure that isn't the opinion of a single undocumented obtuse sysadmin.
Healthy discussion in an email list requires that all parties are first willing and able to read, before writing. You have clearly demonstrated that you ar incapable of doing either.
Every list has a charter which is displayed for you before you join. You obviously ignored that text instead of reading it.

Instead of being double-ashamed because of my ignorance, I'm really proud of being part of the free software community and being able to address to people I admire and respect profundly.
You are not participating in the community, you are merely injecting noise.
The words of Isaac Asimov seem apt here.

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”
Your ignorance is nothing to be proud of. Read the list charters and respect the community organization, otherwise you deserve no respect in return.
