Very correct, sir.

 g0> MIS POLL was introduced during A45. I believe I gave people 2-3 years to

Except for one problem: not every Mystic SysOp has been a SysOp for 2 or 3 years, sir!

 g0> I mentioned in A47 that it was gone but it was an oversight of mine not

Absolutely, you did mention this! And everyone who supports Mystic has done the same.

Again, I'm not being combative, when I say, 'You didn't mention the 'Interval' change!'

You really need to stop and think about us McNoobs, then.

I fully agree, this may be just a problem with a46 vs a47! But it's still a problem that this McNoob is trying to help others understand. 

Please, sir g00r00! Teach me! I can only share what you share!
