I suspect that you are right. They appear to have stoped. However,
since I failed to find anyway of notifying them, next time it happens

isn't exactly nice, but I'm sure that they will actually notice that
something is actually wrong.

I don't bother to set my alarm clock anymore. Someone always pages
