Comrades!

Since my mail address is listed as webmaster on mphq I get
MPlayer-related private mail every so often.  It's mostly simple
questions that I quickly answer, but sometimes there is curious stuff
among it.  The flame below gets more hilarious the more often I read it.
I mean why would he want to install MPlayer if he has *work* to do?  IMO
we are doing this person a favor ;-)  We've been charged of having an
attitude more than once but socialist/communist/UN is a new variant
indeed.  Priceless.

I'm very tempted to post his message on the front page and answer in
public, but then again this would completely ruin our NeuTeam image that
took us so long to build up ;-)

Enjoy (and don't forget to follow the party line)

Diego

MPlayer:

I am running Redhat EL3 and would like to install the latest version 
of MPlayer. I do not see a simple set of instructions on how to 
install/download what I need. All I see is an incredibly complicated 
website, with a socialist/communist/UN attitude.

I have a lot of work to do today, so what do you suggest? Can I simply 
download an RPM and try out your software? Should I join one of your 
mailing lists? Then again, I guess I really don't want your commie 
software after all.

America Rules,
