That was a reference to Caltech. I'm also angered by idiots, but I think your process for identifying idiots is a bit off.

You will however be doing me a HUGE personal favor by stopping using it.

Good bye and good luck.
In previous incarnations, I have not found a way to not trigger fury. So there.

Otherwise, I do not use calibre as a reader, but I have my own scripts to save metadata in the filename (e.g. DDC). Those scripts hack calibre's libraries. I don't think I can stop using that, as there is no alternative. But I will never accept Calibre's all-or-nothing philosophy and rename/move my files.
