It's pretty sad when a user of a product makes a request and gets a smart ass response from a developer. I understand everyone involved in this product does so on their free time and doesn't get paid for it. But that doesn't give anyone the right to jump down someone's throat for making suggestions. I have been a long time user of anope, and have always tried to sort issue's and what not myself instead tying up developers time, and the one time I make a suggestion this is the type of response I get.
I made this suggestion due to the fact that people continue to ask for better support in this area and are told not at this time or theirs an example provided with anope or it's planned etc etc. Well I'm sorry if I can't code and/or don't understand xmlrpc. If I was a coder I wouldn't have to ask now would I. With talking about atheme I was just pointing out that a competing product has some major advancements in area's users have been asking for with anope for quite along time. Maybe cause I'm not a developer, but treating users of your products like idiots for making suggestions is not a good way to keep users and expand your product.
