*I* didn't slag anyone off (not that I entirely know what that means,
but I suspect I get the point).

I'm the one who gave you a serious answer, that operating the
squeezebox at a different firmware level than the server is expecting
can lead to protocol problems. 

Humour abounds in the Slim forums. Lots of gentle teasing,
self-mocking, an april fools joke announcement every year (the one this
year made fun of a number of people, but I was one of them - the
reference to the K.N.O.B. device is about the fact that I keep asking
for a dial or knob on the remote).

I thought the "sound of one hand clapping" comment was mildly amusing.

I don't see it as slagging anyone off. No one said you were mad.
Perhaps there is an audible difference going back to FW15. Perhaps
there isn't. It is in the nature of accoustic perception that some
people hear things others don't. It has nothing to do with insanity.

My girlfriend laughs at me that I hear a tap dripping 2 rooms away. She
doesn't hear it. To her, what I'm hearing is the sound of one tap
dripping.

It really seems unnecessary to take such comments more seriously than
they are intended.

When you wrote "you have stumbled into the wrong forum section", I
could only take that as meaning "this forum section doesn't tolerate
mild humour". 

Hence my Danté comment.

I wouldn't chose to backlevel the firmware, especially in light of the
warnings in other threads on this forum. I mean, think about it. We've
been told time and time again that the slimserver software mediates the
firmware up- and down- grades. How do you know it's even safe to run
some other software to load stuff into your Squeezebox. How do you know
you aren't going to brick it? So I wouldn't do it. 

But I didn't call you names for it. In fact, I didn't see anyone call
you names here in this thread for it. Just a little gentle teasing.

Just grin and go on. All it was done for was laughs.
