You never send such mail.... but you told me that that you liked me to
_remove_ warnings. 
Note that I also output warnings on Solaris if users use suboptimal interfaces.

This "dvd support" has beed proved to be defective and it has also been proved
that it breaks CD support.

You don't like to see cdrecord to become worse do you?

Hi all,

Just a quick, hopefully unpartisan, reminder that people who are 
interested in getting things done rather than feeding trolls would 
probably feel a lot less stressed out if they moved on to other, 
possibly more constructive, things on their todo list than fanning the 
flames of this thread.
