my point is that new users will STILL be coming. but i get what
you mean.

i never doubted this.

of course you are right on this, i just meant people
that asked questions about a feature/bug in MPlayer that
is documented but they don't read. 

..AND, no matter what the reason is, i will allways believe
that flaming people for doing something stupid is wrong.
you, Gábor, Arpi, the rest of the important people on this list are,
no matter how much of their time they donate to it, human beings.
that means you are bound to do stupid things once in a whlie, too.
maybe not in a mailing list, maybe not in your code. but you know
what i mean. 

<stupid joke> maybe the day we die Gawd will send us all to
hell, we will ask him why, he'll just reply "WHY??? what do you
mean, 'WHY?' ??!! argh! RTFBible !!! </stupid joke> 

( oh, i'm not a religious person, it was just an examlpe. ) 

well, anyway, i see your points, Gábor. thanks for your reply.
