You are saying 'anyone had reparsed the /link/ successfully'.  That is
ambiguous.  A link might be the tracking url, or a link might be a
spamvertised url in a particular spam.  BMW is saying things are
working, ie saying that the parser is parsing the spam.

That [where 'that' is parsing a spamvertised link inside a spam] isn't
what the conversation/thread was about.  The conversation was about what
this thread was about, which is parsing a spam, not determining a notify
for a spamvertised link.  The OP was posting about the parser failing to
parse a spam

I think you Anon might be getting mixed up about what we are talking
about.  We are not talking about the parser failing to notify for a
spamvertised link.
