I have transferred the probes back to you and will send you some extra 
credits to make up for the mistake.

We do not normally transfer probes but LeaseWeb requested host changes 
on their anchors plus some probes. As I had to do the anchors, I figured 
I might as well do the probes too asI assumed they were the actual hosts 
of the probes... Lesson learned I guess, we won't do this anymore.

Again, my sincere apologies and I hope that you will leave the probes 
connected

Kind regards,
Johan
