    g0>  SB> Um.../fidopoll vs ./mis poll? I'm still fairly certain that this was    
    g0>  SB> biggest problem.   
    g0>    
    g0> I figured this might be what you struggled with.  I could have done   
    g0> better.   
      
   Yes, sir. That was a big surprise, but not the only one...   
      
    g0>  SB> Having said that, the changes to 'Interval' events threw me for a loo   
    g0>  SB> too! Suddenly, all off my 'Interval' events were happening every five   
    g0>  SB> minutes, instead of five minutes after every hour. You didn't mention   
    g0>  SB> this in your update notes. I'm not the only McNoob to be confused by   
    g0>  SB> this, either.   
    g0>    
    g0> I can assure you there was no change to the event system which was why   
    g0> it was not noted.   
    g0>    
    g0> Intervals have always executed on a time-based interval (hense the   
    g0> name).  I will paste the Interval documentation from 1.10 which was over   
    g0> a decade ago for confirmation of intention.  Out of curiosity I also   
    g0> installed a stock A46 and created an Interval event of 5 minutes and it   
    g0> executed twice in 10 minutes as expected.  I will paste those logs too.   
      
   I can assure you that there WAS, sir, again! No longer does 'Interval' respect   
   the 'Hour' entry! I am not the only McNoob to notice this! Please check your   
   work!   
      
   If others are willing, I will provide you with independent confirmation.   
      
   Or, you'll just have to take my word for it, being the only one who's willing   
   to piss you off, sir.   
      
   Once again, I will always choose Mystic.
