Sander is number 2 on the list and TonyB is number 5 on the list. Time

My mistake, I was looking for TonyB instead of Anthony and I was checking
from the bottom up.

Nope. Copy and paste the list into POV, then use column select to add commas and
quotation marks where necessary and all you really have to do is add the array
declarations. Except its kind of a pain to keep pressing End * " to get those *
at the end of all variable-length strings. I wish I still had that programmable
keyboard...

What do you mean, "What happened to Sander, and TonyB"?
They are near the top of the list. It is sorted by 
first name with Alexander and Anthony near the top.
If you would like to see the list sorted by month/day
or by place, there is a link to text files at the bottom.
I suppose that I should include one sorted by age also.

As for getting the asterisks on the ends of all the names and locations, it was so
easy! Use column select to surround every entry with quotation marks, then use
Replace All and change "space-quotation" to "asterisk-quotation" and again to change
all "space-asterisk" to "asterisk". That adds the asterisks and gets rid of all
spaces before them.

Good tip, just that for the arrays for day, month, year, location have to be
counted the number of positions from the beginning of each to add another in
according to the persons name position in the list.  Easy to miscount, and
just not easy to do anyway.  That's mostly what I was getting at, after
having the script generally done there's those updates from there which go
like that then.  Or that's how I added Eric Freeman in today anyhow, no idea
what you have figured out for doing it (same way?).

No, I just made a whole new list or else I add them to the end since it will be
sorted anyway.

Some of us pay for the use of the phone line, and d/l all of the messages
in one go then read them off line.  So if someone posts an unsuitably big
image or irrelevant binary, then we pay for the d/l weather we wanted to 
see it or not.  

As long as everyone exersises caution and consideration when posting then
everyone will be happy.

Yes, and with the quality of the phone service in Bulgaria (line
dropping every 10 minutes in the daytime) and knowing that the nntp
protocol does not support resuming, it gets one hell of an experience
to view the other posts, because p.b.a. and p.b.i. are one of the
first alphabetically (and they are checked in that order).
