I just finally figured out how to use multiple libraries without messing up my news downloads, and now I love the way that Calibre builds libraries even more. I just have to set up a folder with the name of the library I want, and Calibre does the rest for me. I'd *hate* having to find files from all over my computer to move them if I wanted to quickly move my library. This way, if I need to move a library from my laptop to my external drive, I just move the folder and all subfolders, point Calibre to the new location, and I'm done.

Yup. But *he's* the one complaining about being silenced for some reason. I was trying to point out that he's not been silenced, he's just being annoying.

And, is he capable of doing the work himself? I just kind of assumed that he's complaining so loudly because he hasn't got a clue how to do it. If I felt so strongly about something and had the ability to change it, especially with open source like Calibre, I'd just get on with it and change it. Frankly, if he has the know-how and is still complaining, that just makes him look... lazy? Perhaps trollish, but certainly lazy.
