Pardon me for interjecting....  But 2 things come to mind.  

First, people can save themselves (and their list mates) a bit of grief if they'd not
"take the bait".   And yes, others should refrain from "baiting" ... but let's not go
down that path. 

Second,  when reporting problems and looking for help I feel things can/will go
better to include relevant output from commands to illustrate what one is trying to
convey in words.  It may help another set of eyes spot something being missed.  

These are just my suggestions and I hope they can be seen in that light.  They are
presented without judgment.
