I don't. I disagree with his most important point: It's no good
to post as much information as possible. Instead, the amount of
information posted should be "condensed" to only the important
pieces.

Now, please go back and read Alans first post in the thread. It

Well, no, not as possible, but rather "as required". And that's been
done.

Yes. That's been done. Once more: The problem was, because rhythmbox

That's fixed in 2.22.

Oh, so it's now my fault for responding to a flamebait? Nice. It's
not the aggressor who's doing something wrong?
