Brian Skiff opined :-

Fair comment, but lest we forget, tis not _you_ guys, but one guy, and a
bunch of other folk who are seriously racked off with a perennial problem,
which ain't gone away through it being ignored.

So, aye, trenchantly put, but broadly shot instead of surgically directed.


Meanwhile, Patrick Schmeer commented :- 

>Well, I would have not mentioned it had there not been a worldwide discussion
>almost every time I did not report an outburst detection within few minutes.
>It will be difficult for you to prove that you really were the first one to
>spot the DO Dra outburst this time ;-)

finishing with :-

>But it does not matter anyway ...

SO WHY THE FRIG MENTION IT IN THE FIRST PLACE THEN?!!!

'Tis strange for summat that don't matter anyway to be responded to in
terms couched with aggressive comments such as "it will be difficult for
you to prove".
