That kind of response to a catastrophic failure would be good for a commercial organisation. For anything like Einstein, it's very impressive. Hat's off to David, and thanks.
We work hard to keep the project downtime to a minimum because we know how much E@H participants dislike downtime.
It is nice to know the effort is appreciated.
