First of all: that was unnecessarily harsh. This list gets lots of posts 
per day.. there are times I get busy and can't keep up for a week or two 
and I have to spend an hour or two just going through everything I 
missed. It'd be a shame if I felt less inclined to follow up on 
something just because I'd get flamed for being "late".

Secondly, he started his post with a warning that it was mostly a summary.

Thirdly, it /actually was helpful/, to me at least. Nobody had mentioned 
the extended warranty and with his experience with laptops that info is 
quite valuable.. and nobody had mentioned tunneling X through ssh, or 
implied having used fink as much as he did.

So, can we all be friends? Thanks.
