  | Why space probes randomly? I have still not seen any credible

  | experimental data. This text was introduced because of a misunderstanding

  | document ever since. An initial random delay is justified. Further
  | randomness is just voodoo.

We have been through this before.   Stuart seems to have a fixation
on one (incorrect) rationale for this, and ignores all attempts to
point out the real reason.

Leave this just as it is (ie: I agree with Christian's response).
