Fudge!! Thanks for the pointer, Stefan . . . Yeah, the lines in
match_providers_with_resources that says:
if resource = match(record, matchers)
# Remove this resource from circulation so we don’t unnecessarily try to
match
matchers.delete(resource.title)
.
.
.
Means that it can never match two lines, I guess!
Thanks again . . .
