These were speculations that I preferred to ignore. Fixing or changing would
have been a PITA, time wise. If it's not broken (site has always done well),
why try to fix it? Unless, of course, there were definite answers making the
rounds.

Yes, I use that tool. I tick all 3 boxes, which shows me SE saturation (well,
just Google) in a variety of separate datacentres.

Good. So it's unlikely (or at least *less* likely) to change.

These circumstances can be amusing. After 2 weeks of no response from a large
forum's administrators (I E-mailed with a gentle, polite request), I had his
avatar swapped with a picture of a penis. Not a complimentary picture, I
must add. My logs later indicated that many visitors witnessed the shameful
display before he had this rectified (pun intended).

Best wishes,

Roy
