No real reason. I was thinking of making it daily as well, and might still do it.

Thanks for this - I was worried I was too strict, but perhaps I'm not after all.

Good point about not using HOLD though, it is kinda redundant these days, and I think most nodes that start the HOLD->DOWN cycle dont really come back.
