Some in these cdr groups swear by the following:
cd-rw is less reliable than cd-r, thus cd-rw is unreliable
cd-rw is the least reliable media, thus cd-rw is unreliable
Packet writing is less reliable than mastering,
thus packet writing is unreliable
Packet writing is the least reliable format,
thus packet writing is unreliable
DirectCD bugs translate into unreliability of cd-rw media
DirectCD bugs translate into the faults of packet writing
