And finally, take some time to realize that when you make incorrect statements on a public forum about someone else's work, that someone is perfectly entitled to correct those statements, regardless of whatever disclaimers you prefix your statements with.

Kovid:

"I FEEL AS THOUGH..." = "MY OPINION."

Get it? Did I declare I was the Lord on High of ePUB-making? Did I say I was rendering a judgement upon the worthiness of Calibre? NO. I said that MY FEELING WAS that editing an ePUB was "less intermediate" than editing in Calibre. I didn't SAY one goddamned thing about Calibre itself.

And I'm damned if I'm going to sit here and get even more pedantic about what the meaning of "intermediate" is. Jesus, and here I'd hoped that the Rapid-Response-Snakebite ethos of the Net would remain away from MR a little big longer, but I guess I was wrong. Now, I'll have to preface everything with an emoty saying "Oh, GOSH, THIS IS JUST MY OPINION!!!" disclaimers.

Enough of this crap. it was a simple conversation, some people involved in a NICE, vaguely thought-about discussion about different ways to do the same thing. And it had to blow up into this? For what earthly reason? What a waste. After this--and other replies like this one that I've seen this past year on this particular piece of software--I have far less interest now than I EVER had in Calibre as a tool.
