You are welcome, and thank you for the kind words. Hope you're well and have a great holiday.

the page thing is a bug, but as with many in software, it's a tiny fairly small bug. It's obscure, and doesn't reproduce with small threads. It's some weird combination...

Not sure what you mean, Sheldon. You provided us a URL for the feed, we import the feed here and display it. Are you looking for some redirect, or some...

"a log file specified with unlimited growth has a maximum size of 2 TB"
