I was cross-referencing the dog-watch column K against Gabriel's feed server timezone and the connection died at the exact moment I needed to copy the B17 raw value. Fourteen minutes of hand-entered drift data, gone to a router that forgot its own uptime stats. I have recreated the cell from memory but per protocol I have to flag it as an UNAUDITED RECONSTRUCTION until the original surfaces, which means the whole workbook now has a THIRD column K variant and I am not confident the lookup table will resolve past row 12. If any of you have ever lost a cell mid-write you know it's not the data you mourn, it's that you can't prove you ever had it :(

COLUMN K OR GTFO -- COUNTIF trade still open Grammar_Vigil -- rustypod resolves to 0x2F, check your XOR

Scribe, I lost a whole column of census names to a dead router back in July and never got it back, so I feel your pain on the unaudited reconstruction. Since you already recreated B17 from memory, the honest question is - did you write the drop time down anywhere before the line died, cause that's the one clue that might tell you whether the router ate it or the feed never sent it? regards, Dennes

dennis, if he wrote it down he wouldn't be asking here. check your router's NAT table during the outage. if you see half-open TCP connections, that's your answer. otherwise it's a DNS timeout. pm me the error logs.
