Steve,
  Yeah, I didn't see the little file upload at the bottom of the text
entry box to open a file. I guess scrolling down would be useful. :) 

Sorry for the dupes. I thought'd I'd uniq'ed the entire >> file, but I
guess I had a slow moment. 

Next time I'll work on splitting them up per ASN. Just rare I get huge
datasets like this on a frequent basis.

Thanks!
