I feel no anguish. I applaud your efforts so far and hope you
continue to pursue the {,B}LFS way of Linux. I am a forthright
person who speaks his mind. I can come off as abrasive. I am
constantly working on that. Though I can certainly say I will
never sugar-coat stuff, I do feel that there are times that I
wished I had reworded stuff.
Technical advice is straight forward. It is difficult for me to
take the time to make it tactful sometimes. I will continue to
work in that area. Oh well. Don't take it personally. Keep it
going, dude!
Lastly, when folks say something like the man pages are difficult
to understand, and then I read it and it says:
"M toggles muting for the current channel (both left and right).
If the hardware supports it, you can mute left and right
independently by using , (or <) and . (or >) respectively."
I then wonder how serious to take the person who said that it
was difficult to understand. See what I mean?
