There must be a few WUs getting lost out there. You know how each
unit is sent out with a _0, _1 and a _2 suffix so that each unit
is calculated three times and cross-checked? Recently I've
noticed a few _3's and _4's and today I got a _5. Obviously a few
results are being lost or not returned. My understanding is that,
if all three 'units' haven't been returned by the expiry date
they send out however many other copies are needed to get the
three results. A _5 must mean that all of the original three
units were lost.

Just thought I'd mention it. Anyone seen one higher than _5? Just
curious. --

I've had _7 once.

Mother of God! Anyone higher?

If there is a _7, there should be an _8 (which in no 9), as was mentioned in
the other part of this thread.

With the loss of a lot of work and the black-out I think we might see more
high numbers for a while.
