I keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.

Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)

We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.

AULUS GELLIUS. NOCTĒS ATTICAE, XI, X

X. Quod C. Gracchus in ōrātiōne suā historiam suprā scrīptam Dēmādī rhētōrī, nōn Dēmosthenī, adtribuit; verbaque ipsīus C. Gracchī relāta.

I. Quod in capite superiōre ā Critolāō scrīptum esse dīximus super Dēmosthene, id C. Gracchus in ōrātiōne, quā lēgem Aufēiam dissuāsit, in Dēmāden contulit verbīs hīsce:

II. "Nam vōs, Quirītēs, sī velitis sapientiā atque virtūte ūtī, etsī quaeritis, nēminem nostrum inveniētis sine pretiō hūc prōdīre. Omnēs nōs, quī verba facimus, aliquid petimus, neque ullīus reī causā quisquam ad vōs prōdit, nisi ut aliquid auferat.

III. Ego ipse, qui apud vōs verba faciō, uti vectīgālia vestra augeātis, quō facilius vestra commoda et rem pūblicam administrāre possitis, nōn grātīs prōdeō; vērum petō ā vōbis nōn pecūniam, sed bonam exīstimātiōnem atque honōrem.

IV. Quī prōdeunt dissuāsūrī, nē hanc lēgem accipiātis, petunt nōn honōrem ā vōbis, vērum ā Nīcomēde pecūniam; quī suādent, ut accipiātis, hī quoque petunt nōn ā vōbis bonam exīstimātiōnem, vērum ā Mithridāte reī familiārī suae pretium et praemium; quī autem ex eōdem locō atque ōrdine tacent, hī vel ācerrimī sunt; nam ab omnibus pretium accipiunt et omnis fallunt.

V. Vōs, cum putātis eōs ab hīs rēbus remōtōs esse, inpertitīs bonam exīstimātiōnem; VI. lēgātiōnēs autem ā rēgibus, cum putant eōs suā causā reticere, sumptūs atque pecūniās māximās praebent, item utī in terrā Graeciā, quō in tempore tragoedus glōriae sibi dūcēbat talentum magnum ob ūnam fābulam datum esse, homō ēloquentissimus cīvitātis suae Dēmādēs eī respondisse dīcitur: "Mīrum tibi vidētur, sī tū loquendō talentum quaesistī? ego, ut tacerem, decem talenta ā rēge accēpī".

Item nunc istī pretia māxima ob tacendum accipiunt".
