</div> That was sarcasm, since you seem to think those sorts of people<br>
have no place in this project.<br>

</div> Sure you are, every time you whine that something has been mentioned<br>
before. If multiple people are coming up with the same idea over and over<br>
again, there's probably a good reason for it.</blockquote><div><br>No one is denying the validity of the reason but the end result is the same. No code, no feature. If you know of another way to turn ideas into features without someone coding it, by all means, let's hear it. Otherwise, the point being made is that the repeated rehasing of previously discussed ideas does very little in terms of real value. Sure, it *might* spark the interest of some new developer but these are also not "low hanging fruit" that a new coder would be likely to tackle as their first foray into MythTV development.<br>
<br>If you've seen the level of activity going into the MythTV code right now, you'd also see that those core developers are *actively* making significant changes to the system leaving little time for any other feature requests at this point.<br>

really your problem.</blockquote><div><br>And why are you so offended that someone has pointed out that this has been discussed over and over and over again here?<br><br>Kevin</div></div><br></div>
