Has anybody noticed that when accessing this conference, the number
of new notes shown in ones header screen, is often greater than
the actual number of new notes. This morning, after a NOTES/UPDATE
I was assured of 4 exciting new notes, but was disappointed to only
find 2.
Anyone know why ?

I've noticed this phenomenon before, and not confined to just this
conference either.
Does anyone know if it's anything to do with the protocol version
that the NOTES server is running ?

Well, one probable answer is that a wally (like me) puts in a note,
and on re-reading it sees a couple of speeling mistaeks, so I
extracted the note, editted it, and replied it back.
The counter is incremented to say two new notes, but I got rid of
one of them, so you only see one.
(You can only do this on the last reply to a note; if another note
has been added, then the note number is not re-used, and it is
skipped over and shown as a deleted note (I think).)

first thing in the morning)
