I never take offense, so your apology is not necessary.

That is their problem, not ours.

After transferring a fair number of files (about 30-40 MB) from my CF reader
to my Windows machine (via FTP), I get the following errors on the console
and in the logs:

umass0: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT
umass0: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, TIMEOUT
umass0: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, TIMEOUT

Once these messages start to appear, they repeat every few seconds, no
matter what I do.  The CF volume becomes inaccessible, and there is no way
to stop the messages.  The only way to clear them is to boot, but I cannot
shut down the system cleanly once these messages start to appear, so a
hardware reset is required (with the risk of filesystem corruption that this
implies).

Without exception, the rants of angry young males have always been entirely
useless to me, and are little more than noise occupying bandwidth uselessly.
Unfortunately, angry young males are a majority on USENET and on most
mailing lists.

All of these people were more intelligent than angry; i.e., their brains
overrode their hormones.  This is never the case for angry young males; they
are aggressive (gratuitously so) and stupid as well (at least their
intellects are not strong enough to override their hormones), and they
generally contribute nothing to society in this state, except little angry
young males.
