Hi Franco,

You might have had a valid point here, but I'm afraid it got buried
beneath being needlessly antagonistic. I know that you've not had the
best relationship with Netgate, but please avoid doing that if you'd
like to have a constructive conversation about stuff like this. You
can still raise the question of whether a feature has value or not
without a lot of what you added there.

Thanks,
