Ken,

I hear you.  20 years ago, it seemed so simple to make BBDB just do
the right thing on the first try.

Even though I don't have my BBDB completely dialed in, I'm pretty
happy with how it is working right now.  I don't have any urgent
changes needed, such that every day I'm saying to myself, "Why is this
so hard?"

I think that's a step in the right direction.  :-)

Thanks,
Rob
