No need to apologize. Your comments were fine, somebody else was pointing
to us.
In fact, the ntfs-3g manual was improved based on your comments to refer
and contain the generic mount options ntfs-3g additionally accepts. Thank

It seems it was already shorted out, great! :)
Another major, often discussed issue is the unclean journal file when a
user didn't safely detached an external disk on Windows. The next release,
planned in 2-3 days, will mount them automatic.

You're very right.
