Nicely reasoned. Thanks Dann. I have made a very small number of changes so far, apart from repairing broken HTML (because archive.org apply stringent filters and may well drop stuff). Most of the bad HTML is found with older shows since now we have a better control over what gets saved to the database. In the case where I have "rescued" images because the original hosting server is no longer available for example, I have added an "Editor's Note" explaining what was done. See show 1128 for an example, fixed in 2015. There I left the original link addresses visible but redirected to the HPR server.
