Seems innocent enough to me. People could respond or not. I wasn't looking for a thousand lines. I've done dev work for more than 20 years, so I get what this stuff is about. If there's a warning, maybe there's potential for a bad outcome. I took the risk, what little there was, because the worst case would have been to reset the device and I understood the update to have been relatively minor. Getting back to where I was, even with the hacks, wouldn't have taken much time.

It's a discussion forum. Why not ask what others think about something that was a new sighting for me? If we all were out for dinner (if only we could be) and one of you asked what we thought of our dishes, would that be cause for me to snap at everyone and proclaim that millions of people had already given opinions on their food over the years and I should have consulted that instead?

Anyway, sorry to go on for so long. Thanks for clarifying what you might find objectionable without being rude about it. I'll go back to my book now.
I have to ask. Did you patch the firmware without reading the thread about the firmware release? If so, do you really think that is a good idea?
