James: I don't suppose that you play? :) Funnily enough, my first band (and the only one to last long enough to get gigs) was a cheezy goth band.

Also, I will fix and post the script that I was using to semi-automate my replies on manual notes. I was thinking that I could work it into a little utility that let us browse errata and easily reply to, forward to the app. list and delete bad entries all in a few clicks. - zak
