It is indeed an honor. I hope that I may continued to post dead links, abuses, etc. here on this forum. Everyone here has been wonderful.

Thanks to everyone!

Hey, not a bad strategy, clean out the junk and then apply to become an editor, getting a nice clean category in the process.

Glad to have you on board!

#391 and #392 dealt with, thanks.
#386 now dealt with, thanks.
#388 now dealt with, thanks.

#367 is done, some by me, more by another editor whose help is much appreciated.

#382 started, but it's past my bedtime. More later.
