Fair enough, I just feel like people reporting "48 hours of not using 
their computer" are doing something extraordinarily weird and I'm just 
at a loss as to what they're doing and why.

I get the feeling people are updating their ports tree and then 
recompiling/reinstalling everything "just because" and then are 
complaining when one thing breaks (its the only thing I can think of).
