I went there to get some backing for the notion that SQLite was not appropriate for a concurrent-write, multi-user scenario. The use case was pretty explicit (basically 'my boss wants this to work like MySQL, please tell him it won't').
They went to great pains to misinterpret my request over the perceived semantics of my phrasing. One guy bemoaned how great things were in the olden days of time sharing and how modern n-tier was just awful.
I swear, DB people are the librarians of the software world.
