Hi Deepak,
Agreed, and both that are described contain content, or at least
that's the way I'm reading your reply. We are specifically pointing
out the paging messages that contain nothing but an empty request for
"someone from xyz to contact $foo" for an unknown reason. I think it's
fair for us to ask for some content if we're going to see these
requests forwarded to ~9k users.
