ORBIT-USER: [Fwd: Reservation created for 02/01/2007] - FAIRNESS?

Dear all,

I would like to know why my slot got changed and even though I reserved 
it a while ago you assigned it to someone else. As per your email below, 
users that reserve the slot first get it regardless of fairness (and 
that is why last week I could only get one hour of grid time for the 
whole week).
This is all very confusing, please clarify.

Thank you,
-Andrea

P.S.
I am referring to today's slot 4-6.
