Sorry, I should have been more explicit. =20 I wish I had specified the following points in more detail: 1) the free mailing list support was able to fix the problem in a=20 couple of days (not weeks: this is a general remark, NOT related to=20 what you said); this free support is often excellent; =20 2) in the final sentence, I indicated that one might solve=20 (particular/specific emergency) problems in a few hours rather than a=20 couple of days (days: what you had said) by hiring FreeBSD experts. I did not mean to criticize the mailing list support in the least,=20 either. I simply wished to recall a further possibility, which may be=20 useful or handy under special circumstances.
