Re: [sc-dev] /error suppresses /fail replies

Okay, so this turns out to be a bigger mess. Supernova seems not to send /fail messages, and ignores the error suppression. :-/

It could be useful to be able to suppress the posts but still handle fails in other ways, e.g. to implement custom error responses. As another I was just trying to test if a node exists, and wanted to do that without worrying the user with a ‘FAILURE’.
