That's definitely reassuring. I'm not imagining it! I will put together my tested, reliable observations. For example: apparently the result of the API call is a concatenated string of all result keys without their values in some cases, and a proper newline-separated set of key/value pairs in other cases, and the individual cases seem to be reproducible, but I need to investigate further.

Meanwhile, I can't back up my blog, so if you could avoid being bought by the Russian government and shut down in the next little while, I would be ever so grateful.
