(For the list archive)

Ginny and I checked up on my concerns.  It looks like the specific
records with which I had issue were hosed before the DB conversion,
potentially in one of the many contact-transfars that happened during
RCN's "acquisition" years.

So
- apologies for aspersions on the DBWG folks
- word of warning to others to cache and fully validate allll fields
  before and after contact transfers.

Cheers,

Joe
