I now reuse the LAST input message. E.g. when I inject those messages:

1. Message with\* payload=0\* and _topic="ZERO"_
2. Message with _payload=1_ and _topic="ONE"_

Then I now get these output messages:

When I translate this sentence via Google Translate to Dutch and back to English, then I get this result: _"as soon as Colin stops asking new features, and has confirmed that his feature requests work correctly"_🤣

I hereby declare that the current spec fully meets my requirements (at least until I think of something else) 🙂

I am away from home at the moment so I can't do more than cursory tests I am afraid, but it is looking good.

Damn, I have been too fast. Had to work - unexpected - more than 7 hours today, due to some server issues. So I thought: let's publish this node quickly afterwards to npm. But I forgot that Bryan hasn't published his latest version yet to npm. As a result, the input message will still not be resend to the output. Instead a completely new output message will be created.  
To cope with this, I had to publish fix version _ **1.0.1** _ now 🙄.  
Should have wait until my brain was cooled down again ...

Bryan, has released this evening version _1.0.1_ of his button-events library. This will be installed from here on automatically when you (re)install my node. So now the input messages will be re-used for the output messages.
