Yeah, that is my experience as well and why I have given up bringing
probes to ICANN meetings etc. I'm getting a tad tired of these people
who swear on the grave of their favorite cat that they would install
them, they actually never do and never aswer mail either. This on top
of those people who initial instll them and themn abandone them after
some time.

There is an ICANN coming up and I have still some probes to hand out
but wonder whether I should bring any of them with me.
