You are right, I should have done. In the event I decided to redo the
discography from scratch rather than check for Michael's accuracy or
otherwise and didn't even refer to it, so subtle are some of his 'mistakes'
and 'mis-information' (I must admit that at first I gave the Michael version
Conflict discography a quick scan through and thought, 'hmmm that looks
about right' and left it without applying the rigour I would have applied to
any alterations to the Crass discography (where I would KNOW of any errors
straight away)).

Lesson learned.

PS. I've been thinking about applying for sysop editing access purely in
order to be able to delete junk entries without having to put them on 'votes
for deletion' and saving some work and hassle for someone else. But I'm keen
to avoid the 'politics' of sysop-hood, I have enough of those sort of
hassles in real life!
