There's a story behind the retries... Ldeffenb up there didn't think it was going to happen, so a friend (lilbowser) and I went out to the Olive Garden, thought of a retry criteria, and brought it back to the meeting and implemented while our brain-fried software mentor took his dinner break... Oh yeah, this is 5:00PM, Monday night before ship.
