It's an extremely finite resource, however, and everything that enters our support system gets graded and acted upon in a rather organic fashion - whatever strikes the collective [un]consciousness of -questions as being answerable or relevant gets dealt with, other things sometimes slipping all the way down the queue and onto the floor. It's just the way it works, and you had the simple misfortune to enter the system with a problem which was both unexpected, considering how long it had gone unreported (or at least ignored) in -stable, and involved a piece of hardware which few still actually had. As things have progressed, more people have stepped forward and perhaps someone will hopefully soon have a fix for it. Jordan
