    3. Hi Barrie, Most of the files listed under SuspectFilesAlias for my syndicate belong to people not heard of since 2007 at best 2008. If you could get me temporary access I could change these files, but I don't want to take them over. It should be only a matter of converting the single line to the 3 line format.
