It's not that you *did* bring it up, it's the *how* you brought it up that's more likely to have been the cause of the head-off-biting. Some people probably mistook your tone for "I've noticed a crazy spam increase it so it must be true and if you didn't you're dumb" or something like that. Paul, however, IMHO, was a bit more cautious (the use of "wondering, seems" instead of more categorical words, mentioning stats, asking for input) so it's less likely his question would be misinterpreted.<br>
<br>I, for one haven't noticed it - but it's more likely to mean that I don't look hard enough, not that Paul is mistaken. He probably looks more at his logs and performance issues more than I do, since I usually only notice there's a problem when the excrement is already hurtling towards the rotary cooling device (you know, your servers either deliver e-mail in 30 seconds or less or your clients start ringing your phone off the hook).<br>

I brought this up a few weeks ago and got my head bit off!<br>
