If that were so, why would I take the time to report them in the first
place, just to be some kind of silly liar for the fun of it?  And why would
I take 20+ hours to download 2.2.7 at 26.4k over the Net, just so I could
find a reason to tell lies about it?

I refuse to document them because I didn't write down specifics at the time
(my mistake), and no longer have 2.2.7 in my possession to test them again
and write down the details.  Also, being simply a casual hobbyist and not a
FreeBSD  developer or member of the core team, I don't see that it's MY JOB
to document these kinds of problems, simply to mention them.  Let those who
have committed themselves to working on FreeBSD research the problem.  I
get nothing whatsoever out of all this, including the posting you interpret
as a "pack of lies."

I'm not willing to go through another 20 hour download, no.  If that means
I should switch to Linux, well... perhaps I will.  It has certainly been in
my thoughts as of late.
