Kinda upset at the lack of response to GBe issues

19 / 38000+ = 0.0005

this number you use here and say only 0.05% has a GBe issue is NOT statistics.

 knowing that the number isn't going to be 2,000  

I don't know how get this number, but you didn't use statistics to get it. 

Did I ever mention statistics.  I am an expert statistician, and the above it NOT statistics, nor did I say it was. All the numbers above represent is an order of magnitude set aside as extremes for the purpose of discussion (one being small, and the other being large).  In no sense did I ever suggest nor even imply that I was employing statistics.

The Pine Inc is probably not going to want to replace a 'large' number of boards.  I made up 2000 !  ... but it could be 10,000 the point was that if the number were large there would be no hope for across the board replacement.

On the other hand this is real, not statistics, real:   19 / 38000  =  .0005

The point of that real number (not statistics) is that so far nineteen 'real' people have indicated that their GbE board did not work.  That does not mean that only 19 boards have failed , nor that the failing ratio is .0005 / far from it because its not meant to be statistics.  The number (19) is the actual real number of people TL Lim might be dealing with (an order of magnitude) right now ,  who want their boards replaced.  I think that number is significantly low that he might actually consider replacing them , just to get them to shut up !

I think its impossible to determine the actual number of defective boards, even if I were to use statistics, which I did not.  But I suspect the number is quite low because I suspect that the number has to do with a mismatch of mods 'specs' for the board and the actual PHY used... and this did happen for a short time.  

If I ever decided to use statistics, I would state that I am using statistics and I would explain which method, and why I think its valid.  To claim I am using statistics (when in fact I am not, nor even hinted that I was) is a red herring a straw man argument, and an ad hominem all at the same time !
