It looks like it might be me - and I apologize profusely to anyone
affected. However I didn't do anything specifically to initiate the request
/ application and would be really, really interested to know how it
happened. At worst I didn't do anything to inhibit the request, but then I
didn't know I needed to.

So many apologies Carl (and anyone else involved), and please let this be a
warning to everyone else.
