It's not a threat. If people take it that way, then that's them.
<snip> Preston you've been doing the chickenlittle routine for years, every new release you complain about how bad it is and say your switching. When SCO started making noises you said it looked like it was time to switch to the HURD, and IIRC the Novell buyout you never shut up about how it was the end of days. Every software release will have bugs, its inescapable, and when you have major changes between versions of software, and the 9.2 -> 9.3 is pretty major for under the hood stuff, your going to get even more than normal; and if you tweak and change things deep down like I'm in the habit of doing, then your going to get much more than normal. So please accept that bad things can happen when your playing with complex and powerful technologies and take suitable precautions, such as making backups or go and switch to a system that doesnt have these problems, such as an abacus.
