Hello Mark

>Checking the spelling of a suburb is surely data validation?
interesting question.

if a person types Balwin instead of Balwyn does that make the data 
incorrect? If there is such a place as Balwin I guess at the very least 
their entry is misleading, and therefore having some sort of scan through a 
list of existing place names would be a useful validation technique. But is 
it the spelling that's being validated or the existence of a place with that 
spelling?

...and anyway, does an old CRT monitor falling in the forest make a sound if 
there's no one there to hear it....????

Two weeks in and mania is already starting to hit

Robert T-A
