[Aavso-photometry] Download Data Bug?

[Sal Giambruno]

In an attempt to compare one of my recent observations in reference to a recent thread about Z And, I downloaded a complete data set from the AAVSO International Database, only to find that my single observation was not included in the resulting data set, even though it does show up in Quick-Look.  I further noted that observations from others made just prior to and just after my missing observation were included in the data set.  Curiously, it appears that my observation had simply been skipped over.

To test for an inconsistency or bug, I then downloaded two more data sets, this time for TW Per.  For the first query, I used my actual personal information in the request form, and for the second query, I used bogus personal information - both queries produced two identical sets of data, both of which included records of my observations.

I am wondering if there is a bug somewhere . . . or if there is some other explanation for the apparent inconistency.

Thanks,
