Blah blah undesirable changes, incomplete UI. But where? that only came in your fourth post. Why couldn't you be specific to begin with? And don't even begin bringing up cultural differences.

It was so easy and yet the only thing I got was a "look for it > yourself". Speaking about aggressive behaviour... > Now, this is being spiteful and childish. We want user input, that is right. But we do not appreciate baseless (or seemingly baseless, because you refuse to clarify yourself) comments such as what you have done. "I want this removed because it is bad". But WHY? You refused to clarify until your fourth post. Was it really so hard? Either way, if you want to remove the video portion, you'll need to have enough knowledge of C# to make sure everything still functions after that, and if you have enough skill to do that, then you have enough skill to locate the portions of code that correspond to video playback as well with relative ease. > > Alan McGovern-2 wrote: > > > > As it stands, there is absolutely nothing further to be gained by > > anybody posting further on the issue. > > > I said that too already, but since you insist in evaluating my attitude, I > hope at least you allow me to defend myself. > > > Alan McGovern-2 wrote: > > > > developers, whose opinions are the only ones that really matter ;) > > > My mistake.
