It makes me wish we had a CouldaWouldaShoulda_CharacterName property that contains what the name ought to be, and we document this as one that *will* change any time there is a mistake made in the original character name. We just make a nice informative property and go through all of our known mistakes and the maintenance after the initial pass should be minimal.... MichKa
