We had a thread a month or so ago under "Garbage Collection" I had a stack that was much larger than it should be. Contributors suggested using revUnplacedGroupIDs to loop thru and delete all the orphans. Well I did it. The stack shrunk down but had a group deleted that was placed. I thought in all the fiddling around that I might have done it by mistake. Now I know what happened but I shot off my foot regardless. Thanks for testing. Hard to submit a bug on an undocumented feature.

I know that it's undocumented, but has anyone looked seriously at revUnplacedGroupIDs? As I went hunting for crud, missing menus, and whathaveyou, As I stepped through (after blowing a foot off), I found that some of the ids covered by revUnplacedGroupIDs were, in fact, placed. In one case, it was most of the groups on a card. I also find it *not* consistently finding all of the actually unplaced groups, although this is much harder to track down. Has anyone else experimented with this? And, I suppose more importantly, can anyone reproduce it? -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
