    It was a Hipcrime-style flood, IIRC. A query:

    ... where unparsed_head like "%Organization: fall%"

    I didn't mess with any of that.

    gets 226 of those, dated 2021-03-12. There may have been more
    around that time but a quick check around the date didn't show
    any. Candidates for deletion.

    Odd, I don't recall seeing any of them.

    I guess we have to make sure to put a space on each side of the
    word/term.

    I knew about that and wasn't sure if you'd find it.

    They were *how* found it. I didn't recognize the names and when I
    checked, they both only had 1 post so I read them over and saw it.

    Terms could have a few punctuation prefixes or suffixes, so I
    wouldn't worry about it. I expected things like that.

    Mine could've been caught with "preamplifier".

    There is now. No one ever used it prior to my statement. OTOH, if
    you're not updating your db <shrug>.

    When using this:

    WHERE pb.orig_text LIKE '%amplifier%'

    ... and posting only results of mine (not date ordered) I get:

    This is for anyone reading but a reminder to you if you're not
    able to update your database: With my Flask project I provided a
    way to start a new, single table database from a format compliant
    news server of your choice. If you keep track of the numbering,
    you can update it, as well. I got rid of a bunch of the fields but
    you can tailor it how you want (you may have to do what you
    suggested, convert from shell script to python or whatever).

    Have you thought about selling the facility in the Apple App Store?

    That would make it easier to use... which would be contrary to his
    goals.

    I've never seen SC set out his goals.
    I've only ever seen YOU surmise what YOU think are his goals.
