If the owner of the spreadsheet allows it, then definitely. I don't know them personally so I don't know how they feel about that. I suppose we could create our own version if they do not agree. I'm one of the mods in that sub so I'll be making the chart a permanent link in the sub so either way would work (and obviously we can link to it from anywhere else we'd like). > not only check the given items with yes/no but also freely add to the list I agree.
