What is the last time that a feature that was requested on the feature request page was actually implemented ?
Edit: What I'm trying to say is that I don't know if requesting it on the feature page really helps, but I haven't seen any features requested outside the feature page actually seen implemented. pg is probably very busy and few people send patches.
If you point people to the feature request page then you should be able to back that up with the knowledge that you are not effectively sending them to a black hole.
I think that should read 'stops bothering me'. Everybody here speaks for themselves, so do you. By using 'we' you assume that he was bothering me, and everybody else here too, and in fact he wasn't, though there may be many more people that sympathize with you.
