It's the Question that drives us, D J Hawkey Jr :

I know, but that's a thing that you shouldn't have said at all.

You said: Dox is bad - ok, explain. Or better, send patch.

You must be joking.
It means I don't understand the question. What "configuration section" ?
 - the GUI has configuration panel
 - anyways, how-to-build-GUI is in TFM

Yes, but your offtopic mails caused it, and you are annoyed? You weren't
even banned (I think I won't, but A'rpi might do it).

That's what I wanted to ask: why? Why do you want to change us? To make
MPlayer more popular? MPlayer users laugh about arguments like this.
You _don't_ have to care.

Your general point was that we, from Eastern Europe should "westernize" coz
most of our users are "western". You want to change developers to "western".

You should accept developers as they are, but at least stop writing these
mails.
Actually, I try not to write RTFM, only for users who claim to have RTFM'ed,
and for offtopic/flamer ones.


> You tell me (and the list): What is it that one of us is missing, wherein

If I wouldn't care about users, there would be no documentation in
4+ languages, no 2 language homepage, etc.


> rather than replying with a simple, curt (if not polite) answer
I usually do, so you must mean other developers.
And: do a little experiment, and search about the time the "another users
mailing list" was opened. Surprise: _users_ _here_ started to say _RTFM_
for newcomers. Just take a look at it. Guess they aren't "western" enough...

_Please_ save me some keystrokes and don't reply...
