Thank you, NCMan

 

for all your reports. I have gone back a few pages and updated most of your requests that were posted after Christoffel submitted his notes in Item 4306. I have to go offline for a few hours but will return later with notes on any items that might need further comments or clarifications.

Re: #4348, I looked at the search link NeuroToxic provided this morning. The 14 sites were deleted by another editor on March 26. It's possible other FileFront sites may still be listed in ODP, but I didn't check to see if there are any.

 

For NCMan's reports I have gone back as far as item #4308 and think all are done. Hope I didn't miss any.
