:-) If I am not being too indiscrete, could I ask what software you asked to organise all the input?

(I would have used Brainstorm, which would recognise the common identical entries as “namesakes”; I would then have sorted them alphabetically and counted the identical ones.)

Not indiscrete at all. I clipped them into OneNote. Once the whole list was assembled, I copied it into Notetab where I sorted the lines alphabetically, and manually counted them. This didn’t take too long and was pretty easy, but your Brainstorm method would have been faster and easier still—especially the clipping with Magic Paste. This is the danger of having too many PIMs at my disposal.

Had you copy/pasted them in SQLNotes, the Info box would have given you the count. Alternatively, the built-in pivot table would have done the same thing ;-)
