David,
If what Matt says is true about your computer giving you problems, there are many folks that might be able to help you sort it out, unless something is broken. PM me if you like and I would be glad to see if we can get you headed back to the virtual skies.
As far as your requests go, Skuzzy is king here. Notice he has stickied a list of forum rules for us all to read. Although, we have these rules, it doesn't mean that we shouldn't try and exhibit some sort of self control in our posts. For me this means that I try and think it through, especially before creating a new thread.
However, your title, How does HTC work ....... hit close to a post of mine, asking if it would help to ease the number of repeat wishes for new models if they had an up and coming list with no release date just a probable "yes it is in the works" list (sticky would be most effective).
Then, if a member of the forum continued to spam they would be subject to more harsh warnings and actions by the moderators. As it is, pretty much as stated before here, posts will be subject to ridicule, thread hijacked, some humorous and not so humorous analogies and eventually Skuzzy brings his lock and looses another precious chunk of his life because the lot of us are not able to exercise enough restraint.
