 Just curious mainly, but why do you keep such a database?  And what
 happens if someone wants to change topics, presuming they can change
 them.  But even so, what would one do with a database this size?  I
 just let listserv maintain the database and who has selected what
 topics. So I'm curious because you've taken back all the work
 listserv has relieved you of.
