No, I did not mean to imply that the 970 is an esoteric piece of gear. Far from it. I guess what I was trying to convey in my rambling post, is that I've become somewhat inured to bug issues simply because I have owned equipment over the years that has tended to be more fickle and less set-and-forget. Granted, the 970 is not in that camp. It was designed as a set-and-forget piece and should perform as such.

Sorry if the other post came off negative or haranguing, as that was not my intent.
