   At least you're not bitter...or anything.  ;-P

BTW, I missed the amateur only pre-requisite for the list, I am sure
it will be a *much* better list without us boring professionals

Um... Because I have one of the systems failing,
for -just- this reason ?

But, I guess if it isn't *your* problem, the rest of us shouldn't

   The question was, "How come so MANY people are having problems ?",
I shared one possibility that *does* appear to be a re-occurring theme.


Or was it rhetoric, and I just didn't catch on ?

     :-D
