As M9 (and probably no one else) would have noticed I have a habit of editing my TRs, many times to fix my terrible spelling, grammar and story telling. I don't have any of the edits backed up, only the original 'good enough to post on chokky, I'll try and fix it - make it good later' versions. If those final edits are gone then I'm of a mind to just delete my TRs for the time being, or leave them as incoherent carcasses.
