What I used here was just an example of what can be done. I didn't make
any claim that it was done that way. But the following seems to be in
vogue:

Apparently that discussion is being ignored by some FTSC members!

S**t happens.

U**o

F**ked

As above.

You mean like Janis' nodelist software problems?
