At least, David, you gave some useful information; but I found yourattitude -and please note I don't want to offend you personally- moreor less annoying. I don't understand why you said so lightly he wastrolling, specially when he is a somewhat active participant on thislist, I know you didn't either, but if I had to say someone wastrolling in here, you'll be my first candidate. Derek simply pointedout a problem on the v4l-dvb tree. I think the most of us don't havemuch time to spend on this kind of volunteer projects, so we shouldavoid wasting it on sterile arguments. Once again, excuse me if I did offend you. That was not my intention.
