I am sorry, I did not mean to be rude.  You're right, I misunderstood your point.

Not at all.  I know that you know better than anyone how FreeRADIUS works.  I
thought you were understandably unclear about what I was asking, because I
obviously wasn't asking it well.

I wasn't offended, I was apologetic and tried to offer an explanation for my
current cognitive difficulties (perhaps you missed that part, because it was
removed in your reply).  I am a little taken aback by how much I have apparently
offended you.

I never said that, come on.  Again, this is all due to my asking the wrong
question or asking it in the wrong way.  I can see why this upset you.  You took
the time to actually read my poorly put question and read debug output which
really had no relevance, since nothing is really broken. At least that's how I see
it.  Again, I am sorry.

Well, I hope you don't ban me.  I don't think that's happened to me in 20 years. 
I am sorry that I came off as antisocial.  It was not my intention.
