It is not in the manual, it is not an MPlayer problem.

RTFM is said lightly (all too lightly) on this list, you should not
take offense.  Besides if you look a few lines up you will notice the
smiley ;) after the RTFM.  This is supposed to be a face with a big
smile and a winking eye.  This indicates irony and means that what was
said before is to be read in a friendly way even thought it may not
appear to be friendly at first glance.

So you did get your problem solved, didn't you?  Why would you want to
react in such a rude way then?  Oh, it was just that you misunderstood
the tone of voice and did not really want to react this way yourself.

 > If i met you in real life i would kick your nerd ass.

A very appropiate reaction to an insult.  Violence is after all the
way that adults handle their conflicts.  That's why all the nations of
the world have been living in peace and harmony on earth for so many
generations already.  Oh, wait, it was not an insult after all...

Thanks for generalizing in such an inappropiate way.  You felt
insulted by something that somebody (not a developer) said on a public
mailing list and want to blame the mplayer team for this?  If you met,
say a Brazilian soccer fan in South Africa and he spit at you, would
you blame the Brazilian world cup team for his actions?

Please show others the good manners and respect that you expect them
to show towards you.
Have a nice day
