No they were just random scripts I wrote to help me. Although they work based on some of the log files generated by the database generation and verification tools, which are now on CPAN. > Also, I think the author issue isn't just the volume of mail -- but > the repetitious nature of it.

I think getting something working and getting feedback, refining, etc will be an ongoing process. I see whether you see everything, or just one entry per tuple, as part of the preferences system. I'd prefer to see everything, as on several occasions, one fail has caught something completely different from another on the same tuple.
