Sorry, was knocked out by the flu some days...

What should I say to this. Yes, I'm guilty, I've have done it (not one at a
time), but only the images and the animations themselves (storing the authors
and main statistics as well) but not the comments by the authors or the voters.
But I'm working on it...

Most of the IRTC data are still available only the second period is lost. All
entries from the beginning till the hiatus 2006 are still available (ftp-link at
www.irtc.org).
