This should help explain (at least a bit):
Well, it’s up to you, but there’s more to come of course. I’ve covered a pretty wide swath of ones I’ve intended on reverting, but there are still some outlying ones that I need to tend to.
I’ve gotten the dupe list down under 40 (as of this morning), as well as continued to work on other random (as well as intentionally targeted) oddities as they appear (or come to mind).
Really? Really?!
Pffbbt. (kidding) lol
Trust me, I know the feeling! 
Well, not this thread…
Thank you for the support and understanding though! It’s much appreciated! It means a lot.
/generally speaking:
I wanted to go more in depth on the “why’s” of the decision to revert some of the “major players” after investing SO MUCH time and effort on trying to make sense of things (from the standpoint of when it comes time to mix, and interacting with the flavor stash). But there’s several things that tie into it… One of these days, I’ll try and corral all the varying factors.
But, I really want to express my deepest gratitude for all the wonderful people who supported me in the attempt from the inception of the idea!!
I know from both public and private exchanges, that many appreciated it, and found it useful.
I also want to remind everyone (especially those who did not fully take to, understand, or appreciate the idea) that I did say very early on, that things could be reverted if necessary! And in some cases, I’ve felt that it’s better to go ahead and do just that. So I know that this should make some folks a bit happier. chuckles
Some things will not be reverted though!!
So I will ask that folks continue to bear with me, and please do not try and anticipate the direction of things! Once again, I beg to remind everyone, that it is after all, a “living, breathing, entity” with fluid changes in both the flavor companies who make the flavors, name the flavors, and those who sell these flavors. So things are going to continue to need adjustment!!
Granted, once the majority is dealt with, the changes won’t be/feel nearly as frequent, or as widely ranged… But I’m simply saying that there will always be the need to update or adjust factors as they arise.
As some vendors always need to change the names (for varying reasons), the best thing, we as consumers can do is be more informed on, and reliant upon, is look to the manufacturer for the proper name of the product, as well as any relevant information (changes, etc).
By the way, since I’m “on a noteworthy update” here… I should acknowledge my embarrassment and fuckup earlier today. /sigh /hangs head in shame
I accidentally merged TPA Graham Cracker and TPA Graham Cracker (clear). 
It was the difference between ONE LINE in what I was working with. But I humbly beg everyone’s forgiveness. This kills me from a notes standpoint, as well as the historical standpoint. And I can’t express enough how badly I feel.
I instantly sent Daath a pm (with the exact time, details, and flavor database numbers) apologizing for my mistake. And requested if there was any chance of him being able to manually restore the affected data by hand.
He kindly said that he would look into it. So there’s a chance that it might be able to be rectified. (This is not a guarantee though… So if some start looking for a rope, I understand)
Anyways, I hate ending this on a down note, but I’ve covered far more than expected for the moment.
Thank you all again for working with me on trying to keep things running smooth!
All the best,
Rob
