The one thing you might want to twig him to if he doesn't
see this is to be sure his tic processor config recognize
that it'll be receiving them from you, if it's like nef, or
the original tick iirc you have to change some indicators on file links,
twould appear he may have not done this yet
which is why downstream of him have missed last couple.

Right, which is why Ross might want to give some attention
to his file distro processing in this case since things have changed for
him there.  Remember Ross used to be tOm's
uplink iirc.
