So for the most part, you'll rarely see any of those results.

Ah, now you're talking. That is the one piece of information that I did not know. I assumed only -sj and -fi had it. I lost that information in the other 3 000 posts made in the last couple of weeks.

Hoever, a point I made a couple of days ago, and which I repeated again today, [webmasterworld.com...] and which no-one has yet commented on, or replied to, is that from what I can see the data that these two are serving up is now a lot newer than what it was serving a week ago.
