You misunderstand. I don't blame developers' egos for the bad advice I received; I blame the person that gave me the bad advice. I don't even blame the developers for creating an artificial divide between users and developers. I simply point out that the developers' attitudes are detrimental to the mythtv community. Specifically, I refer to the refusal to offer advice or guidance to anyone that isn't a "developer" themselves. Bob -- Bob Ham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
