Hey Jeff,

please either open a ticket using RT or discuss it on dbi-dev@ or
probably dbi-users@. For now, I cc dbi-dev@. For feature
requests, cc'ing dbi-dev@ is always a good idea.

To your mail itself: I absolutely don't know what you're talking about.
No version information, nothing about the OS/distribution you use.
No test describing what you're doing and what's failing.

Probably you can fix this and after that worry about your tone ;)

Best regards,
Jens
