Hello There,

Recently Jim "The Big Dweeb" pointed out that accepting information from
anywhere has reduced the usefulness of the item lists.  i.e.  Does the
information in the list for a particular item agree with the reality for that
item in your module.

I agree that this is a problem and mainly stems from that fact that I did not
appreciate the differences that separate companies may introduce into the same
module.  I have been attempting to rectify this and harden up the usefulness
of the lists, THE SUCCESS OF THIS ULTIMATELY DEPENDS ON YOU THE USERS.

I have recently been sent a large list of comparisons for UK ROI and COA and
have modified that lists accordingly.  Each item will now carrier a module
and country specifier where known, e.g.

(ROI, UK)
(ROI 10, USA)

etc...

At the moment, I have specified UK items that I know of from the list I
was sent.  I will fill in more UK items time permitting.  I will also go
through the lists sent from Austria and mark the items that come from that
source.

What I need from you the users is info about the modules that you know.  If
you see an item in the list that is in your module, or has different
properties then let me know.

I will be posting an items list contribution FAQ to guide contributors.

Thanks,
                  Dean
