Yeah. You've leapt on the word 'register' there, and not addressed the
salient point. 'Register' as in 'become cognisant of', and distinguished=
from 'signed up to.' Even though the process is simplified and automatic=
,
you're still registering systems.
Having some sort of return from the central stats machine when the period=
ic
script runs, (rather than nothing at all, as at the moment) would be a go=
od
idea. Giving each system an index number shouldn't cost too much.
Cheers,
Matthew
