Of the 600 or so, folks reading this list I will bet 100 of them learned something useful to them by reading this suposedly useless thread. We always tend to think our reactions are the "right and proper" reaction. That is often not true. Treads die when they are no longer of interest, just because you lose interest before others does not mean it should not go on, it just means you should drop out of it.
Next is the thing about, who owns a thread. No one. Threads have a life of their own. Just because you started it does not make you responsible for where it goes. No one high jacked it, as one posted claimed about his. If a thread takes off, be proud. It only did so because you hit, at least peripherally, upon something that touched a response in many people.
As for ME, my understanding is that it works pretty well in store-bought systems where the manufacturer is responsible for making sure everything is has the proper drivers, but it is pretty much a nightmare for roll-your-own systems like mine tend to be. This was the scuttlebutt even before ME hit the streets and seems to have proven true over and over again. (So, an aside for Mark, you may need to find a distribution from a laptop very similar to yours.)
