Gramps,

I was going to do a comparison between those who've been included in your purge list, versus the donor pages, and after working on it a while, I realized it won't really work because your name uses their 'homepage' name, and the donor list uses the full freeper name (which can include punctuation, spaces and other stuff).

I can't imagine how difficult it must be to do some of the stuff that Free Republic does using nothing but perl considering what a freeper username can contain. Just dealing with spaces in the name is the kind of thing that gives me headaches when I'm dealing with manipulating raw formatted text.

It is beyond my capabilities.
