OK. I can live without it, but it no doubt is useful to others.

I notice that there are "missing" ID numbers. Is this just the way the system works (maybe I start a wish entry then quit before saving) or is it because someone deletes their wish or is it because someone at UT or MS is consolidating similar wishes? Or something else, of course.
Some missing ID numbers are: 18, 30, 82. . .

By the way, I should have said that the new layout is very classy!
