Hmm.  A little attention to the math.  Looking at the spot counts in their
analysis app, there's something in the magnitude of a million spots over
the weekend.  400 errors through the process out of 1,000,000 spots is
0.04%.  Your city drinking water should be so good.

And the RBN folks ARE actually working on ways to improve that 0.04%

Leave 'em alone.  They're doing great.  And giving away the spots for free,
a gift.
