Hi Allan

Scan2 is working hard so when the fateful day comes with a
switch to 5% it hope not to be on the list.

We have done 411404 pages and our count shows
747654 flagged lines at present, this is down from 1.5 M when we
started using the better scans. So we are making progress although
it is slow. we have a small team dedicated to this process.

Cheers Derek
