out yet. We would fill the server half full and get no pub traffic.
The server was only shown after multiple clicks of “Refresh List”
and waiting about 2 minutes. I got frustrated and got an additional
server in LA, thinking that maybe being closer to the master servers might
help. I cannot say what happened but the new server and I’ve since
moved the <st1:State w:st="on">Texas</st1:State> server to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City

I am not sure the position number is working. Today, my server has<br>
variously been reported as in the 7000s, 6000, 4000s, and 3000s. But <br>
in reverse order. I have not restarted the server, so it should not<br>
