I recently helped (well, I can hope) someone with a problem and it was down to the node needing a `msg.reset` command being sent to it.

Fair enough.  
Trap for new players.  
Slightly compounded by other things, but beyond the scope for now.

I foolishly said that that message stops at the node.

I have just had a bit of fun with the `msg.enable` message on dashboard buttons, etc.

Seems the message continues on to subsequent nodes.

Is this also true with `msg.reset`?

Which node are you using msg.reset with?

the `count` node.

Someone was stuck with their flow.

Hang on while I find it. I'll post when I get it.

I nutted out that the `count` node needed resetting to work.

So with that, I am messing around with `msg.enable` and that seems to propagate down the line to other nodes.

I'm not sure `msg.reset` does or not.
