Actually, looking back at the mailing list archives, it appears to me that perhaps Jaakko sent me an e-mail saying "Is this still a problem for you?" and then (my bad) I failed to respond in a timely manner. In short, it appears ot me that there was not any problem with e-mail at all... just a slight mixup here. Anyway, as regards ot the LITE-ON drive and the problems I had with it, I really can't easily test that anymore, becaes that drive was pulled from one of my systems when it proved to be essentially FreeBSD-incompatible. And alas, I really don;t have time to reinstall that anytime in the next 30 days for testing. So in short, it is OK by me if the PR gets closed.home | help
