Yes- you are correct. But curiously, a whole bunch that I did earlier
were deleted. One difference, although it may not be relevant, is that
these are "weird" addresses, such as

[log in to unmask]

The driving force behind doing this is to get the size of the SIGNUP files
down to allowable amounts, and if a second entry is going into the file,
then the files are just getting bigger!
