don't flatter yourself. i don't give a flying fuck what you do. 

my reason for posting was to help the original poster, but then you
decided to turn this into a flame fest and demonstrate just how much of

it's a lot easier to turn off spotlight and see if it fixes the problem
rather than wade through the output of lsof, but if that doesn't solve
the problem, then use lsof.
