Interesting take on that question. I would have thought he was asking 
if anyone had practical experience with the device's real performance, 
rather than with that claimed in the "spec" sheet. eg "Does it have to 
be run under 4 Mhz rather than 20 MHz and what flavour dead fish 
should be waved?".

Especially so as the post he was replying to contained, if you'd read 
through it, (or even if you hadn't) statements like

>>Several months later I contacted Microchip to find out what the date 
>>codes
>>were for the new silicon so I could safely order some through a 
>>distributor
>>for my inventory.  The "answers" were very evasive and no date codes 
>>were
>>provided.  "Just work through a M'chip rep" or something like that.

ie you haven't got a show of working out anything certainly useful 
from the errata.
The rest of the post is equally discouraging.

If you are going to be rude to people it's a good idea to read the 
whole context of what they are replying to to lessen possible mistaken 
responses. Especially so if you are only rude and don't provide useful 
information as well.

No substitute for other people's experiences when the manufacturer 
decides to give up on telling you how their parts really work and 
hiding the information when they know.
