Well, this is an open discussion and I see no reason not to share your rude 
replies with others.....

This is not true, your mail does not contain the content encoding type line you 
claim.

My mail (the one you did reply to) on the other side is correct:

If you believe that breaking a frontend is a godd idea, then you should
not be a maintainer.

Please read the Debian bugtracking system for at least 70% of the typical well 
known bugs in the fork...Note that you may need to check _all_ entries even 
those declared as "closed" as many of them never have been fixed in the code.

I recommend you to read the Debian bug tracking system. If you do not 
understand the reports and their background, you do not seem have the 
needed skills for a dicussion on the problems.

The bug reports in the Debian bug tracking system do not apply to cdrtools
because they either have been introduced by Eduard Bloch and thus never have 
been in the original software or because they have been fixed years ago in the
original software but obviously not in the fork.
