You're welcome.
I prefer "3..." so that I only get errors and worst on the console...
I've switched a few months ago to adding a file to "/etc/sysctl.d/"
rather than editing "/etc/sysctl.conf" (but muscle memory still
defaults to the latter, sorry!) so that apt can update
"/etc/sysctl.conf" to its heart's content should it want to.
