[Skimmertalk] aggregator ini rotation??

Fri Feb 21 14:58:40 EST 2014

None of this is applicable  Pete for reasons that I won't go into in a public forum.

Its no issue, my rbn isn't a life critical application.

The update hasn't behaved like previous, seamless updates which is a pity.

Next time I'm home I will fix it.

Regards Paul

The intent in making the Aggregator tray-resident like Skimserv, rather than letting it close from the X is that people were accidentally closing it.  The thought was to make it operate the same wayas SkimServ so habits would be the same.
