Good to know. Thanks for checking.

Just for the record: I've also discovered that the:

"watchdogd not working anymore (since r273154+)"

is not a match and still has the difference of 2:

Wednesday, 10 December 2014
. . .
	=E2=80=A2 Re: RPi - watchdogd not working anymore (since =
r273154+) Ian Lepore=20
	=E2=80=A2 Re: latest VM images fail to compile for ARM Ed Maste=20=

	=E2=80=A2 Re: RPi - watchdogd not working anymore (since =
r273154+) Andreas Schwarz=20

The text on the google webpage before clicking on the
link matches material from the Ian L. message (such
as "15:23:07 UTC") but goes to the Andreas S. message
when clicked.
