Hi, with all the amazing reads listed, I was just looking through the posts and noticed a discrepancy where the new total is443 961
but if English Patient is included, see message 780 & 782
then New Group Total is 443 961 + 339 = 444 300
444 300

If Latest Group total is 444 300, then (444 300 + 190) = 444 490
