...MY shitty attitude...?  Oh yeah, you're always backing J. D. Stanley, so it 
figures you stepped in.  But never mind that.  He, IMHO, was wrong and still 
is and yes, I react bad to people who are stubborn like that.

Yeah ?  And can you then please quote me what the exact last sentence is of 
chapter 9.2 which you are referring to now ?   Precisely...

You know, I do understand where this is coming from but you must understand 
that joe average user will not -after the first trials- keep starting 
mythbackend manually.  So they will follow your instructions, hence click the 
link to chapter 21 from chapter 9. They then will install the contrib file 
-per the docs- and off they go.  I have 8 years professional linux 
experience; you don't need to tell ME how to en- or disable logging.  But the 
fact of the matter is, you always hammer on readling the docs, and rightly 
so.  But please be good enough to admit it when there is a slight 
misalignment between what you say and what the docs say. It won't kill ya.
We didn't have to get into a flamewar over this, quite trivial, little point.

From my viewpoint it's very simple: following your docs most people will end 
up with a _logging_ mythbackend, never mind your good intentions and how the 
app may have been compiled.   But I reckon, we cannot agree on this ? Okay.

Shall we just stop this now ?  I do like flames, but this is neither the place 
nor the person, cause I admire your work and flames like this can only end up 
badly.  And I have better threads to contribute to. So do you, undoubtedly.

Hey, good question but don't look at me. I didn't write them.
