I've been to the beta section, and I'm sorry you hurt your back and I sincerely wish you a speedy recovery, but I still wonder, what was the point of answering me at all in the first place?

OK, I've never used the app before and I didn't figure out at first that one had to look for app settings in — of all things — the environment variables section of the manual (which is an unconventional way of passing settings to an app, to be honest, compared to far more conventional configuration files).
I didn't claim that something is "rude" — the idea of software politeness is, basically, predictability and explicitness where it counts, just to eliminate all those "What was that?" and "Why did that happen?" moments.

And, just to conclude the thread and let bygones be bygones, a one-liner along the lines of "add the CALIBRE_NO_DEFAULT_PROGRAMS variable and assign it a value of 1; use calibre-debug --default-programs=unregister command to delete associations" would've been enough for both scenarios mentioned; just as ignoring the question/suggestion altogether would've been more useful than the way it turned out.
