Well here's some data: OK, I'll admit I'm merely an observer in all this, but I'd like to say that I too am starting to get irritated with this. To be honest, your apparent irritation, along with the point about not being 'some yokel' has finally nudged me into replying. I would have to say that the vast majority of posts regarding your problem report were targetted at identifying whether the system 'was HOTTER' or 'was SAYING it was hotter'. When this was first pointed out to you, your reply was 'picky, it SAYS it's hotter'. This is not a matter of being picky - this is a crucial factor in determining what the source of this problem is. I can say with most certainty, that I would have had far fewer messages in my inbox had you acurately described the problem. So, you see, it is YOU that is the cause of this irritation. I would think that a professional such as yourself, with 28 years of experience, would understand this and make every effort to post clear and concise reports. Please don't flame the developers of FreeBSD for taking so long to determine what it is you are reporting, when it was up to you to specify this originally. My last $0.02 from the 20th Century.
