I'd much rather get an article twice than not at all.  Your
article was dup'ed here in the batch just arrived, but no
blood on it.

Since Demon have already ack'd the existence of the problem,
we can assume they're working on it.  And personally, I'd
prefer that we got off their backs and let them press on
with the work, rather than risk them doing a hasty job with
Elastoplast resulting in losing articles.

Tell me, Brian, have you ever tried to fix a problem with a
customer breathing down your neck?  (I'm sure you're an old
enough hand that you have.)  Did it help you do a better
job?
