That you are a minority of one is patently obvious.
I simply pointed out that you could fork the project yourself, attract
any developers to it if you wish, as you already have code that you are
modifying to permit your device to work.
How is point that out suddenly denying you the right to free speech? Or
is disagreeing with you suddenly now allowed, hence denying me my right
to free speech?
I'm still trying to figure out your obscure Pentagon reference. Are you
claiming that MythTV code is the same as the massive number of different
specialty code developed for the US DoD?

What you're really doing is bitching and griping, when offered a
solution, you bitch about that.
That you go on at length and use obscure references, to what I assume is
the US DoD headquarters, well I'm forming an opinion of you. It isn't a
very good one.
I'm sure you'll reply again and solidify my opinion of you.

But, at least I'm beginning to understand why no MythTV developer is
willing to work with you.
