Re: Oh, and I realise this sounds snippy (m)
I was going to post a very unpleasant reply, and I'm still in half a mind to - I don't actually appreciate having my head bitten off for making a suggestion, given that we're both obviously quite interested in the topic and therefore have an opinion on how it should be done.
However, I accept your apology.
I may or may not post my results - depends how much time I have once this thread slips off the board where it can't get any more replies.
In case you're interested, I'm collating very simply: I copy the names into a word document, then when I have all of them I'll sort alphabetically. That's my base data. Then, in a new file, I'll delete the repeated names and leave a number tabbed next to each name. After that, I'll sort by the number, giving me the rankings.
