Thanks again for the additional information. I'm sure that you face many challenges, given that this project is dependent upon so many vagaries, and upon the active cooperation of so many individuals and companies. But it is my sincere hope that this can be made to take less than 6 months. It seems that there are really two parts here, i.e. (1) identifying all of the broken contact addresses and then (b) attempting to get as many of those fixed as possible. The latter part may last indefinitely. The former however should be amenable to completion on a very short time scale. I would encourage you to seek to find out what is broken, as expeditiously as possible, and to then publish those findings for all to see. Such publication could have multiple useful knock-on effects. Regards, rfg
