124 | A: You have a couple options here. You could forget the question, find an | ||

127 | What we do recommend is stopping by IRC, reading | ||
128 | http://bjorn.haxx.se/rockbox to see if the question was answered else where | ||
129 | and just not included here, or ultimatly dropping an email to the mailing | ||

141 | about us not having sharp objects. I'm sorry. Now please stop calling me | ||
