You have a very high horse, sir.
No offense, please :)
If I use something, I want to use it like I prepared to, or like my application is designed to. I respect your right to do something in a way that you want to, but in return I expect that my way to do something will be respected too, instead of attempting to teach me how to program or how to use API "in a right way", right? :)
I simply asked - is this OK or not (my proposal), I explained why I need this, and instead of simply, plain, clear answer "Do this" or "Don't do this" I got a lecture that my way of thinking is... well, differs :)
This is _not_ what I want. Next time I'll just publish my intention, ask for opinion, and anything that is not clear, straignt "OK, we agree" I'll interpret as "We don't agree" or "We don't understand why do you need this [because we don't need this|because we can live without this, so you can too]".
