Caddy doesn't hit the front page of HN all too often. But when it does, this issue gets brought up by one of two people. That's why it's annoying. It's so predictable and so annoying. We've already said our piece on the topic repeatedly, being asked to repeat ourselves again is insulting to us. Because "this is low priority and we have no plans to fix it in the immediate future" is clearly not an answer for someone who cares about this issue and mentions it again.

I wish my biggest problem was that two people mentioned (correctly) a minor flaw I have, once every two years.

You’ve explained why you won’t fix it (seems that you don’t feel you’ve got sufficient coverage to be confident to do so, or that it’s not possible to cover this type of change) so just put an faq up about it and do not take it personally. You cannot expect zero criticism.

You are not the sole audience for this discussion. Just because they mention something you have heard before, it doesn’t mean they are deliberately taunting or provoking you. I’m glad they mentioned it. This thread gave me important new information about the project.

We're perfectly within our rights to express how it makes us feel for it to be brought up, especially with the history we've had around it. It's caused us a lot of grief and we'd just like for it to stop being shoved in our face. That's all. If it was brought up by someone totally unique (not repeated by the same person as before, who we've already answered) then I would have had a different, more tactful response.

I really don't think it's fair for you to make a judgement on me or the project from an interaction like this. At least judge the project on its technical merits. I've been very transparent here. But I can't stop you from having your thoughts. It is what it is.
