Linda

I was also hoping to know which David needs to be removed.
I dont have the tools to do so regardless.

I come across profiles like this all the time.
Im looking down the line and find a mess.
I do what I can do and then I need help.
There were 24 children I merged into 17.
There were 3 Davids I merged 2 together.
I need help with the finishing touches.

Thanks

OK, I'll check out after I get some other things done.
