Yes. That's what threw off the other guy as well. He decided to skip it for the same reason. If I had a wiki account I'd change it, but for whatever reason I tend to be far more comfortable writing list replies, sometimes repeatedly, than writing anything on the web, which I tend to treat as read-only. So I've never gotten a wiki account and thus haven't changed it, and apparently the other guy with the problem and anyone else that knows hasn't changed it either, so the conversion page still continues to underemphasize the importance of completing the conversion steps, including the defrag, in proper order. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
