Ok, so... users sharing their views about Hopkinton stability in a thread about Hopkinton stability is off-topic, but golf and washing machines are ok... I see the logic now. How silly of me.

Never try to apply logic to an area where it is not applicable.

Hopkinton is the absolute best Cake version I've ever used.  Period. 
 
The tool is definitely NOT the problem these days!

Yup, it's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.

Please don't make this anything more then it is. You can say my system is not stable all you want in your own thread but that is not what this thread is about. If you do have a problem and you want it fixed start a new thread about it. The OP was not asking for a debate.

Well, what drew me to this thread is that many folks say that, and I'm glad for them (said without sarcasm), but in my few hours of using it it has crashed on me around 10 times, on a project file which X3e had handled with no crashes over around 20 hours of work. So I do sweat it, or at least wonder what's going on, with my W7 Pro 64 bit, i7 2.8 ghz CPU, 16 GB RAM PC with a Focusrite Saffire 6 USB interface which has always been solid,  Windows fully updated and all other drivers current, on a project which is all audio, a few gain automation envelopes,  the same FX running as in X3e (except for the ProChannel EQ I'm using for the first time in Hopkinton) and relatively light (max CPU load around 20%).  All I've done in Hopkinton is to continue comping work started in X3e. But I digress, as I now realise it is effectively OT to contradict the OP.  I'll contact CW support and stay mum.

I am not debating anyone, I do not dispute that the OP finds Hopkinton to be stable. I and others are sharing our own take on the same subject, it's what forums are for. I think you are being a bit heavy handed John. Yes you have Moderator Power but remember that just because one has a hammer doesn't mean everything should start to look like a nail.

Well Lingyai you are digressing quite wildly on this one and done a proper thread hijack. If you are not careful I might just start giving you my TV repair tips. In all seriousness please start a new thread and let's see if we can help (genuine offer, no sarcasm intended here).

Lingyai - I really hate to agree with DA ( ), but you would get more help by starting a new thread and stating some specifics about the problems you're having.  Lotsa' helpful people here that want to help as many as possible enjoy the same great experiences.
 
It's not just about etiquette or formality.  By starting a separate thread you will have more people notice your problems and try to help.  The golf and washing machine posts are for comedic relief.  Nobody is taking them seriously.  OTOH, people are taking your instability problem VERY seriously and are trying to get you the best help.

Well Doktor, if I am hijacking by discussing whether the discussion is appropriate here or not, then you are quite the co-hijacker as you've been matching me post for post. I guess it's because I disagree with you that you find my "hijacking"  inappropriate, whereas yours is just fine, you being right and all. The main difference between us is that while I've consistently talked about the stability of this release, you talk about washing machines.  Yes, I get that you are trying to parody me, but parody involves a modicum of resemblance to what you are parodying. If you indeed think Hopkinton instability is as out of place in a thread about Hopkinton stability as washing machines, I won't even begin the futile task of trying to persuade you otherwise, as we're just ... real different.  Later.
