Karl, I think you're thinking of J's reply:

Please refrain from blasting people for things they didn't say.

In fact, please stop blasting people. This is a technical support list,
not a forum. The personal flame-wars have GOT to STOP.

Believe me, I understand that you're tired of people bashing you, for
whatever their reason, but you MUST realize that you're not helping your
case by bashing them back, or telling them to leave the list.  People
are reading/replying to this list for 2 reasons: they need help, or they
want to learn.  By trying to turn them away, your hurting the entire
community... robbing it of a potentially happy, helpful, and productive
member, just because they had a had a question and pissed you off. Stop.

And on another note, I've personally found MB SATA connectors to be on
the flimsy side on most Mobos that I've bought. I remedied the situation
by buying mobos only from Gigabyte. Their connections are much less
flimsy.
