bingofuel totally agree.
For example my other "incident" was behind a 744F, we were on a STAR and 35 miles behind this 744 with a 40kt crosswind. We hit the wake of this a/c and all hell broke loose, AP disconnected and it felt like we were flying through a thunderstorm again with uncommanded rolls. It chewed up the back cabin like they were in a washing machine, luckily nobody was hurt but it certainly was not a nice scenario to be in. The point of this one is that we were 35 miles ahead and we had a relatively strong crosswind but still hit it.
