It would be great if you could do that for me and the group. I never saw an
original Chara post and have no idea if my two missing images were ever on the
website. These are:
chara-02-025.jpg
chara-05-029.jpg
My Chara-03 is in shambles. Essentially everything is needed. That would be
easier than picking and choosing around the 30 good files I seemingly have.
There is no easy way to post a missing list since there is no good csv with
which to generate a miss_wrong file.
No hurry, I know you're overworked as it is.
