Rude? No. The information provided is invaluable - but to find it is really difficult - so I rather think that there would be ways to make it easier to find. A Topic: one question, answers, discussion, and if it is solved, it is there for finding all the information if needed at a later stage. A Forum: consists of many threads where each thread is covering one topic. Important for navigating and finding the answers later: each thread can be viewed separately. And this is the problem here: The thread "piCorePlayer = Squeezelite on Microcore linux. .An embedded OS in RAM with Squeezelite" is technically a single one dimensional thread. But in this single thread, different questions are asked, answered, replied to, dic=scussed, ... and this can opnly be viewed in chronological order - not by question and answer. It is like you have a room of people who are posing questions and answer these but you can only hear them speaing in chronological order where questions are followed by e.g. answers of earlier questions - to find an answer to a question is quite difficult. Imagine a question which stays relevant over a long time and regularly gets new answers... So: I am not trying to offend anybody - I am not trying to be rude - I highly value the people giving their time to answering the question --- I just think that a lot is wasted for searches in the future due to the monolythic and one-dimensional structure of a thread in contrast to a forum. So: The same time and effort put into answering would be much more valuable in a forum instead of a single thread. Hope this clarifies my position, Cheers, Rainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rkrug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62249 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
