Dear Mr. DeLaHunt,
It's rude to use someone (me) as your sock puppet, especially without
their permission. I trust that the regulars on this list will take that
into consideration. For myself, I appreciate the aid that's extended.
I suggest that you consider that some of the people here are not native
English speakers and that it can lead to misunderstanding and the
innocent appearance of rudeness. Cool your jets, please.
Regards,
Mark.

FFmpeg core contributors:
You are aware that the FFmpeg project includes rude and hostile
behaviour. Some you direct at each other, but some you direct at
newcomers. I received some when I first attempted to contribute to
ffmpeg. I have seen some on the ffmpeg-users and ffmpeg-dev lists.
Case in point: On 2020-02-29 17:27, the very perceptive Mark Filipak wrote:

This behaviour has consequences. It makes possible contributors less
likely to turn their good intentions into patches to the code and
documentation of ffmpeg. The next time you core contributors ponder how
to improve this project, and to get some of its load off your shoulders,
you might want to consider that.
Best regards,
