I don't mind if you feel the need to form a defensive posture on being 
told you posted a load of handwaving junk.  Have at it.

I have bad news: many posts on the Internet are made if there is a valid 
point to them or not.  If, as the original poster, you feel that upgrade 
installs are broken, please talk about that.  My experience is I have 
done yum dist-upgrades, CD upgrades and CD reinstalls and the only way I 
blew user data away was if I reformatted the filesystem.  If you have 
anything to add that doesn't fit with that experience, please talk about it.

It seems I correctly apprehended the missing middle in your message the 
first time, thanks.

Good job you were standing by with a "life lesson".

Have a nice evening.
