You are right... I have taken those out and it still works.  I was
adding everything I could think of at one point in trying to determine
what was breaking the parser.  Some of the data in there is input free
form... which means that any developer could have put just about
anything in there...  I find a lot of ^M stuff from day to day in
other places.
