I can't comment because I have not use my newfound powers to look at the
SysAdmin list yet, but I assume that you are right as you typically are.
I admit I was repeating second hand information and that is not good.
In my defence, the comments came from people on the list, and as the
list is private there was no way for me to verify what they had said.

That is because when I reported it the first time I, like most humbug
members, was not aware there was a SysAdmin list.  So I mentioned to
Stephen, who gave it a prod.  But it turned out it only updated once.
My excuse for reporting it the same way the second time (verbally to
Stephen) was that Stephen acted promptly, so why not do it that way
again?

Fantastic!
