    SB> Yes, sir. That was a big surprise, but not the only one...   
      
   It sucks that it was a surprise for you.   
      
   Again, I agree I could have given more detail in A47 notes, but its not like I   
   pulled the rug out on anyone.  I was telling people personally, and Mystic   
   patch notes were telling people to upgrade for *years* now.   
      
   Even if you only read A47 upgrade notes it still tells you that fidopoll is no   
   longer available for use once you upgrade.  It should never be a surprise to   
   anyone that read any of the release notes in the past several years.   
      
   There is some responsbility on end users to read the notes.

    SB> Please check your work!   
      
   I am the only programmer so I would know if I rewrote the event system in A47   
   which I did not.  Assuring me that I did doesn't change that! :)   
      
   I showed you the docs from 1.10 which was a decade ago and it describes the   
   event type exactly as it works today.  I showed logs of A46 executing Interval   
   events exactly as the docs describe.  I also tested an hour+minute Interval   
   and they all work exactly the same in all versions.   
      
   Could it be that you accidentally changed your Hourly event type to Interval?   
   If you think there is a bug give me reproducable steps and I'll gladly fix it.   
      
   The idea that A47 is severely broken goes against every piece of feedback I've   
   had so far other than yours, but like I said: If you have examples let me have   
   them and I will gladly fix them or make improvements.
