Why am I receiving this message from Apple?

I'll try and answer but without the original posts that will be difficult.

I didn't see Babowa's post but I have never seen Babowa write a dubious post. The hosts, on the other hand, will remove anything they see as 'possibly' inflammatory (their right to interpret the word) or a post of non technical nature. And no, as far as the forums are concerned, humour is not meant to be a part; they consider this is not a social media type of site.

As far as your Etrecheck was concerned, did you remove the Zenmate program as was suggested? Your machine may be considered in the report as excellent but the amount of RAM you had available was insignificant and quite likely to have caused the problem you had. I'm surprised no-one pursued the interference possibility either.

As far as points are concerned, the hosts/moderators have nothing to do with that side of the forums. Points are only awarded by the person who asked the original question (As you have done for me).

That person alone can judge if a reply is worthy of a help or solved star. I can tell you, less than one in ten posts that the questioner considers answered are actually marked as such one way or the other ..... and often a perfectly correct answer is simply accepted and the questioner disappears into the ether.

Your avatar must be chosen from the formal list until you reach level 2. Then you can insert you spanking new iMac. So you'll have to get working.

Hope I have gone some way to helping.
