    Obviously I wasn't aware of it. I never looked for something like that to be
    honest. C'est la vie.

    However, it is good to see someone gets the point that it CAN be a problem.
    Nothing like clearing a problem one day only to have it come back the next
    day and not know how it got in the first time or got in again. At least this
    is one more thing that we can check.
