Are you really this obtuse or do you just play you are on the Internet?
You are dealing with someone who feels he is "more" right than anyone else in the WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD.
He drops his so called "credentials" (ive been in the biz for (fill in the years) I worked on mainframes, blah blah blah...
Bottom line is, this guy is a massive tool. To be honest, I am beginning to think he is someones sock puppet. (I think we might all have a fair idea of who I am talking about).
Anyway, I think we should all do ourselves a favor, and kill this thread. I know it will be hard, Anthony will try really hard to say something even stupider, in a vain attempt to make us want to reply...but, there are a plethora of other things we could ask on this list, which are more appropriate.
I get alot from this list, in terms of interesting problems, and fixes, and general advice. Anthony drives down the signal to noise ratio. Let's just all collectively ignore the sock puppet, and the arm its connected to. I really would like to stick to filtering people, and not whole threads. Indeed, I shouldnt have to. Nobody should have to.
Let's end it, for the children!
So, in closing, Andrew, if you want to know what to do, search the list for your threads, you have been given elevendy billion options on how to solve the issue, and how to move forward. Nobody gives one slap or tickle whether you feel you should, or shouldnt have to remove hardware to troubleshoot.
If you dont want to do that, it just shows the rest of the world, what a halfassed troubleshooter you are. It says Zero about us. your credentials, what you have done, etc do not amount to a hill of beans, when you wont follow basic isolation logic. If you cannot, or will not follow time tested, standard troubleshooting techniques, used the world over to try and eliminate the issue, and you wont email the devs directly with output, logs, etc, and you dont want to dive into the code, than I would retort that it is NOT freeBSD that is defective. It is YOU who are defective. Another half assed luser, who seems to think the list works for you. Well, you do not sign the paychecks of anyone here, I wager. You certainly dont sign mine.
By and large, if you feel its flawed, because you don't want to actually use proper methodology, and you want people to telepathically diagnose your issue, you are in for quite a rude awakening. Please, by all means, piss right off, because, as I see it, you have done nothing but pissed off some of the most patient people I have seen on a list.
Sorry Bart, didnt mean to steal thunder. =)
