I love my RINs as a way to know where the individual was entered. It lets
me (loosely) know if I should go back and do more checking <G> I know at
some point some of mine got renumbered (only because I have an ideal of how
much I had to know before I found these kin folk) but still, mostly, I get
an idea of who I need to work on again.

For all that will be, yes.
