And every piece would need to be checked not only for accuracy but for format as well which is why I don't actively encourage the activity and IF...as has occurred more than a few times in the past....a unit with a text file ends up being deleted we have a text file in the files that shows up ( surprise, surprise...) when a new unit is added in that slot because NOBODY is going to double check that a unit has a text file associated with it.... people find then months later when they check the encyclopedia and find text that has nothing to do with the unit.

I treat text files now as something that is added when circumstances warrant and that is rare and that's the way I want to keep it

OK ?
