The problem first started on the older version of TB that I was
using on my XP laptop.  Now I see ngs dropping on my my Win7 system
that has a much newer TB version.

Since it's happening to both TB's, and the common denominator is the
server, then the problem seems to be the server.

I have tried the Repair function on the ngs that had disappeared
after I resubscribed. But it seemed to make no difference - the odd
ng would drop off the local list again.

I have recently done a Refresh of the ng list. But, for now I just
keep TB running all the time. I don't shutdown the pc.  I use
hibernate so that TB doesn't change.

Hard to stay loose in these covid/stay-home/do-not-travel times.
