The ones I "added" were shifted from "Left in 1995" to "Left in 1994",
probably because the 5 Apr 94 got shifted from "registration" to
"deregistration".

We can see the process:

omd's 2014 report, first entry in the "Left in 1995" section:

Chuck         ccarroll at students.wisc.edu    5 Apr 94<= <unknown>

(implying Chuck registered on or before 5 Apr 94; deregistration unknown)


At some point the <unknowns> were changed to blanks, leading to this
in 2017:
https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-official/2017-November/012133.html

  Chuck       ccarroll at students.wisc.edu     5 Apr 94

(implying Chuck registered on 5 Apr 94, deregistration blank).


Then I must have had a data entry error when I took over the job, leading
to this in 2018:

   Chuck      ccarroll at students.wisc.edu                   5 Apr 94

(5 Apr 94 shifted in columns from a registration to deregistration date,
and therefore shifted from "Left in 95" section to "Left in 94" section).

Overall, I think omd's entries that include "<=" and "<unknown>" to keep
columns from shifting is the most accurate, although I'm not sure Chuck
emself ever deregistered, so Chuck's "Left in 2001" entry should be kept
and the 1994/1995 entry deleted?
