[atlas] Fw: Action Required: RIPE Atlas Probe 52974 and RIPE NCC Days Sofia invitation

Hi Endre,

This email was sent to probe hosts in selected countries only as a 
one-off. We are not unsatified with your uptime and we will take your 
feedback into account for the next email so we exclude probes that have 
been online recently.

Kind regards,
Johan ter Beest
RIPE Atlas Team

It is down for 10-ish hours a weekday. It's been running like this for months now. Suddenly, I've just got this mail below about my probe. The probe is online every day and was online today as well.

This will allow you to choose a reason for writing off the probe. This will clear the probe host name, and you will no longer receive any more reminders from us about the probe.
