At that point, it depends on which kernel version you are using.  Yes,
older kernels will just restore the state.  Newer kernels will trap this
and complain.

If you want to continue asking questions and getting answers, change
your attitude; I am not a child.

You should also consider *not* writing essays, but instead ask clear,
direct and to the point questions - in other words, short emails.  Not
everyone has the time or the patience to read huge long emails, or
huge rambling threads of 50+ pages on web forums.
