And 2 months before that, and 2 months before that.... :)

I'm not taking it personally, just didn't want to add more confusion to
the mix by changing the meaning of the word "Max."  I'll be happy to apply
a patch if it implements something we can all agree on (ok, that most of
us can agree on) :)

Sorry if I came across that way.  I'd like to see the undeletable feature
added, but not by overloading the autoexpire field.

I still think that autoexpire and maxepisodes should be kept separate since
autoexpire is based on disk capacity and maxepisodes is based on a number of
recordings.  The undeletable flag can apply to both. 
I can go along with the "Max Episodes" meaning "Max Deletable Episodes", so
that will mean changing the maxepisodes value won't be necessary, just
possibly some description and translation updates.

Since Myth doesn't support users, it's global so anyone could reset it.

Too late, I've been foreevere tramatooriseded. :)  They say that our
brains auto-correct things like spelling errors usually, so I never even
saw them.  I had to go searching when I saw this paragraph.

Thanks for your help in making Myth better and if you can think of a more
accurate translation, patches are welcome for that as well.
