I did some checking of my saved logs from last year and I am thinking it is a
relationship
between BBBS and Mystic as the majority of times it has happened it involved a
Mystic
system. Currently last time it happened was with my Mystic 1:14/5 system and
according
to the logs the next previous time was with Paul's 21:1/100 Mystic system. In
testing it
doesn't look to happen if Mystic initiates the poll to BBBS. But is likely to
happen if
BBBS initiates the poll to the Mystic system. I will also be providing my
findings to
the Mystic author James Coyle.
