I am sorry, if you interpret it this way. I do not have much choice,  
when it comes to servicing people asking for immediate resolution, so  
it is either trying to determine (via the wrong tool, in this  
case?!?) if there is something going on, during Labor Day, when the  
client still accepts "toying around", or the knee-jerk reaction to  
move them first thing Tuesday morning, then trying to philosophize  
around the problem. Again - please accept my apologies - it must have  
been just a coincidence that my lack of properly interpreting the  
tool output, combined with something actually having happened on the  
client's side, led to the wrong assumption that things were wrong in  
a place that the tool's output should not have been indicative of.
