Seen this discussion happen so many times in so many places. I empathise with your grumpy-ness.

I just hope the mailing list continues to exist and is active. I've been a long time hater of forums. I'm a lurker on a hundred or more mailing lists for various community projects, but I visit near zero forums. The overhead of visiting so many different forums when I already have a passionate hatred of them just means I'll never go there. So as a result I probably won't see some of the discussions as they'll happen elsewhere. :( Al. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
