It pulls the books back in recreating the database in the process. It seems to be the only way to do so at the moment.

All of the threads I responded to (which you mentioned) were this year. That doesn't make it that unusual.

I have been using it for over a year as well, and I support it financially. I believe in it, I'm not sure what you mean. There is nothing wrong with my "system" as you suggest.
