If anyone could verify the following it would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

If any of the 6 main name files are edited using Notepad should the extra character rules be applied? Meaning, if I don’t want certain names included and want to delete them from the original files is that ok or will it cause problems? If some of the names are shortened like Johnny to John or vise-versa is that ok or will that cause problems? Finally, If I want to add names to the file is that ok and if so are there any major rules that should be followed like inputting only a certain amount of characters as a maximum for each line? Also, If I am able to add names should they be alphabetized or simply added starting at the end of the current file?

Last two questions I hope:

The default names are entered with all capital letters but some of the additional names from various sources have been added in with only the first letter capitalized. Does this make a difference or does either method work?

The frequency factor does not appear to be a percentage or at least not in the typical 1-100 scale. How does this work exactly?

Thanks again.
