Its not quite that simple. Some dupe checkers appeared to be not just
using that coz of that potential problem and appeared to be trying to
use the other fields as well or instead. Clearly that one of Russells
which got lost, since it came from a BBS directly, no offline anything,
cant have been eaten by a dupe checker unless it was just a bug in one.
