You, Sir, have made me spill my coke. I hope you're satisfied. As regards,
the messages, don't worry about it. I just hope it stabilises. It is usually
very reliable and the last downtime (which I'm aware of) was over a year
ago. The aggregator catches up after downtimes, but in the process,
everything is rather fragmented. I wonder if some of these messages will
'float' within a few days.
Best wishes,
Roy
