[MPlayer-users] Attitude Anyone?

[gabor]

mplayer-newbies won't work...

actually this is mplayer-newbies ... mplayer-users is for the least 
experienced users... there is mplayer-advusers for example for 
advanced-users...

but anyway...

it's not such a good idea to create many, many levels of mailing-lists...

let's assume mplayer-newbies would exist:
who would answer the most of the question? the developers ( because they 
know mplyaer ) ... so for them it will be the same...

i'm only saying, that this has been discussed before, and it's not a 
good idea IMHO.

bye,
gabor

p.s: but you're correct that the developers here are a bit more 
...cough... aggressive ..cough.. . try to get used to it :-)))
