Bill is completely right with that. And I'm not talking about grammar here.

When the anti-monopoly-feature was first introduced, I was indeed mislead by 
the message. My gtkg was connecting to another host, and than dropped it with 
a "Vendor already has 70% of our slots". But that was wrong. At that point, 
only 50% (2 out of 4) of my slots were occupied by that specific vendor.

Later I understood that everything was OK, and that it was only a misleading 
message that made me think of buggy code. And that was not about "already 
has" or "has already". In both cases, it would, to my understanding, talk 
about the ratio BEFORE it would connect to the additional peer in question. 
But what was obviously meant, was the ratio that would be exceeded AFTER gtkg 
would connect to that peer, if it wouldn't stop connecting to that host (what 
it therefore does).

If the message had been "Vendor would exceed 70% of our slots", everything 
would have been completely clear to me from the beginning.
