I can't imagine why you feel it necessary to communicate with me like
this. This is just vitriol, lacking any substance.

How we use words like wraparound is actually something of great
consequence to the Postgres project. We've needlessly scared users
with the way this information has been presented up until now -- that
much is clear. To have you talk to me like this when I'm working on
such a difficult, thankless task is a real slap in the face.

When did I say that? When did I even suggest it?
