No, sorry, people aren't. They are trying, yes, but not even close. The 
suggestion to eliminate the -a switch (a no-op, in fact) was 
particularly unhelpful -- and deserving of mockery. Later on someone 
with a similar problem will find this thread with a search engine and 
will be trying to follow the posted advices -- to no avail, of course, 
plunging FreeBSD further into disrepute.

It is fairly obvious by now, that no real help will be forthcoming, for 
whatever reason. Thus any talk of "productivity" is moot. Thanks for trying.
