Do you really want to start this one up again Rod?

The reliable observer who couldn't even remember he had seen it
more than once?  Nevermind the fact that it was a vastly different
problem anyway, one which can't be reproduced by anyone except 
him, compared to one that can be reproduced by anyone anytime.

Yeah, and if it you could reproduce that problem at WILL, bearing
in mind that the Maestro/Spirit problem can be reproduced at WILL
ANYTIME, 100%.  You're trying to compare a symptom that occurs 100%
of the time, to one that occurs 0% of the time, and you expect me
to make a leap of faith that says yep, they're the exact same
problem, no doubt about it, no possibility the the supposed 
Spirit-Spirit double-send could possibly be a DIFFERENT, RARE bug
in the Spirit, if indeed it ever did happen.

Combined with the "I've seen it more than once now that I know
what to look for" completely dodgy claim, you may understand why
I don't think a problem who's symptoms are VASTLY, nay INCREDIBLY
VASTLY different (100% vs 0%) are not conclusive proof by any
stretch of the imagination.  Oh, and I also distinctly remember you
not willing to bet your life and house on the fact that the Maestro
is not violating protocol AT ALL.  And hey Rod, did you forget that 
I saw double-sending between a pair of Maestro's?  5 times actually,
which is more than Dave Hatch's, so there's the ultimate "proof"
that it is CLEARLY a Maestro bug.  BFN.  Paul.
