Sounds like quite a challenging problem in its extreme...  :)

Since there are only about 350 of 'em, and editing will probably be necessary
on most of 'em anyway, I'll bet it's quicker just to pop the whole thing into
an editor and delete stuff by hand.  If you could do one every 10 seconds,
then you'd have it done in an hour, which is certainly less time that it would
take to write a program to do same correctly in all cases.  :)

For the sample set we have now. But what if EVERYONE starts doing the
'cake thing.

This is .geek and suggesting that it be done by hand is insufficiently
geeky. Sorry.

When replying, remember that if you try to mail me at my CTP address
you'll
only get stale spamcake back, because I'm not there any more.
