There are other ways to offer feedback which are less obtrusive and more in-keeping with what the user is accustomed to.

Wow - I see you have picked up one of Oskar's less appealing habits, namely arrogance and unprovoked rudeness, and at such a young age too. Being wrong is fine, but being arrogant while being wrong is pretty silly behavior. Anyway, perhaps you should prove to me that you are understanding a word I say, and I might be inclined to take *YOUR* argument seriously. Your whole pipes rant doesn't bode well. I was, of course, referring to TCP/IP sockets, not *nix pipes - this would have been obvious if you had ever used anything like IceCast.
