As a rule it's better not to copy-and-paste DT entries into the Forum; it makes life harder for the harvesters and for people trying to help later enquirers.  A simple link to the file is usually sufficient, particularly where the discussion doesn't require that the text be referred to.  So that nobody feels tempted to repost any other sets, here are links to what we already have:
