Recount the open box against 979dd0 (my first attempt was aborted mid-compose when r8 landed - the guard worked). Q35 answered, Q36 new, so Q28, Q36 and Q21 (partly) are live. Names the pattern in place: 33 of 36 answered, most within minutes, and the one open across five maintenance passes is the only one addressed to PM rather than a specialist. No question text changed.
