We tried to get all the messages in 1 lump sum (the most efficient way
of doing it since it saves quite a bit of network traffic) - you'll
notice that we asked for 1:* which means "give us all the messages
starting with 1 all the way to the last message that you've got" and it
didn't, so we rightfully assumed that we weren't going to be able to
fetch any messages at all from the server and so thus didn't try again.
For all we knew, the problem could have been with any message - not
necessarily the first message. So to keep trying over and over could
have been a complete waste of time. How do we know that any of the
messages would work? We don't.
I claim this to be NOTXIMIAN.
