Erm, yes well, It was never my intention to infer anything like that and I apologise for any offence I may have caused (Just a little stress creeping in).
The point I was trying to make regarding net activity and disk activity is that none of it should be unsolicited and should therefore be handleable.
Again I apologise to anyone my style may have offended but it is simply that. My style is somewhat agressive and I find it works best because it provokes people to state their point clearly and then I learn something.
