(multiple contacts) and fortunately and thanks to 18 or so _very_ hard
working volunteers the response time has gone from weeks to hours (in
most cases).

Correct - it just takes time, and depending on the reason different
amounts of time. (eg if you have 'BlueRockDove' or 'NewAgeOptIn' on your

No, but you did a fine job of explaining it (best I have seen
personally), thank you.
The original poster has already noted a contact has been made, and I
will watch it with interest - and the poster may note at least one of
the entries has probably been resolved already.
