I kind of figured since someone posted that there were two in play and neither of them was the one I posted (meaning we had three in play) no one was interested in solving mine anymore. ---

Bug bug is not “wrong”, it is just not the one you are thinking of. To bug a hotel room is a method of detection, and bug is a common word for a problem in a malfunctioning system. We ought to put a time limit on holding out, especially when a defensible answer is rejected. I can’t tell how long find a problem been there. It’s 10/09 in my time zone, and everything after 10/07 appears to be stamped “today”. ---

Apparently, there were no posts here on Oct 8, so find a problem has been up there for nearly 48 hours. Time to move on. ---
