Good idea

It does, thanks for the effort Scott.

|Right.

|I think I want the total number of plates you have, and you are
|contributing the display, whether they have buildings on it or not.
|
|As for the long term database, I am unsure what to do. What happens after
|GATS? Should we count them or not. That is my dilemma.
