Recovery notification sent on transition from red to clear?

I have an http content check running which works fine. It shows red if the content is wrong, clear if it can't be obtained due to a conn failure. But it sends a recovery alert for the content check when conn fails:

Subject: Hobbit host.domain.com:check recovered

clear Wed Jan 2 00:51:23 2008: Failed to get webpage

An error occurred while testing <a href="http://site/url">URL http://site/url</a>

No output received from server

When the conn check again works, another critical notification is sent for the content check. Doesn't it seem that a transition to "clear" shouldn't be considered a "recovery"?

Thanks. Lee.
