 *I* can appreciate that.

 If we all always agreed on everything all the time, we would have never
 advanced beyond the Neanderthal.
 While Neanderthal had a 1/2 billion year run, their technology never
 really advanced very far.

 Some of us do hold that opinion.   ;)

 Understood, however we do need to understand that Fred's position is valid.

 And in a round-a-bout way, you do, by calling an external editor such
 as Audacity, from within the library pages, to handle content modification.

 Yes, and to me, *not* having made some changes along the way, so that
 Rivendell could handle video in addition to or instead of audio as originally
 envisioned, was a good idea too.
 But alas, there is no "all things to all people all of the time" regardless of
 what the politicians like to say.

 OTOH, the "Open Source" argument is also valid.
 You ( or anyone for that matter ) is certainly free to add the feature, and
 once so added, might even be incorporated into the "official" source.
