Stop talking TOSH

I have a Raq4i
I have implemented EVERY fix/patch issued by Sun Cobalt
I have NEVER seen one of these fixes/patches break my server
I am EXTREMELY happy with my RaQ and wish you and your sort would just
disappear and bug some other mailing list with your unnecessary noise.

so whats the difference between my server and those that 'break' when
patches get applied?
I don't go manually editing configuration files or installing unnecessary
programs that interfere with the cobalt mechanisms. I research VERY
carefully before making ANY changes to the default configuration setups. I
would guess that almost all servers that die after an official patch is
released is generally (although possibly not always) down to tweaks and
changes carried out by their owners 'under the hood'.
You (collective) cannot hold SUN Cobalt responsible for changes that YOU
make to your system which subsequently cause THEIR (see I can actually spell
their) official patches to make your system malfunction.
You cannot therefore attempt a class action lawsuit against a manufacturer
of a system where YOU have changed THEIR default settings and installations
and claim it to be their fault that YOUR changes have lost you revenue
because their updates "broke" your system. Had you not mucked about, it
(almost certainly)wouldn't have broken.
