Guy, I'm lost as to why we're making an issue over this ratio/percentage number. I was only trying to point out that whatever is "hosed" up on my server is not a show-stopper, but it is frequent enough (once a week) for me to know that something is wrong, and that if something is wrong then I naturally have an interest in fixing whatever is wrong. > Philip wrote back: > > > It's dropped.

I am sorry if I have made a nuisance of myself in trying to understand what others have been trying to instruct me to do.

But it seems to only be making the matter worse. Guy continued: > and then whining about it. It appears that I can't try to clarify things without being accused of "whining".

Unfortunately I don't see what I have done wrong, and therefore I know not how to "reformulate" these issues. Rather than start a flame war due to my ignorance on things "DNS", I'll unsubscribe from the mailing list. Thanks to all who tried to assist.
