Bob's Notes
Because the blog software I used previously was discontinued; and because my former blog actually was
used more like a notepad for me to make announcements, or to think out loud; I've decided not to replace
that blog (for now). Instead, I'll place links to my musings on this page, in chronological order. As always, feel
free to use the Contact Bob page to send me your thoughts about anything you see on this site!
My first group of Notes (the following four links) describe one of the best recently-added features of GoldBox,
the Contact File Verifier (CFV). I recommend that you just scan through the pages; then return to read any
items that interest you. The purposes of this GoldBox feature are to a) identify any of dozens of possible data
quality issues; and b) to either make repairs within the CFV itself, or to assist you in making those repairs
yourself. The GREAT thing about this feature is its simplicity: try it, you may be amazed at what it finds for you!

9/14/2009 - Primary E-mail Addresses - Item L; also all other Items - Including items which Make repairs
