Hi Dave,
It is totally understandable. After all the mixes and matches with your 
beloved stroll - you have the experience. I must admit that I kept using 
the first version of subsume, due to wanting to use relink - more than the 
subsume-edit. I prefer using the link and drag to your col2edit in the 
sidebar ;-)
Don't let this stop you from sharing your goodies with us. I use and love a 
lot of your products - Thanks you!

@Flibbles
Thanks for all the help you offer. Now we can as users add those config 
tids ourselves and see how it goes.
