Apparently we are not talking about the same line numbers.  I mean the ones
in the diff file.
index = 0

   and

box_name = "essay.q"+str(index)
syslog('info', "Box name: %s", box_name)
index = index + 1

but it looks like this is gone now.

OK, I would suggest you put in a comment with at TODO to remind yourself.

Yep, as you understood.

Nope, I think that when Malveeka did the STORM code, this was just how she
set up her debug statements.  We weren't doing code reviews that summer...

Feel free to ask when things are not clear.

I'm not sure what was going on with the line numbering.  This is the line I

 formQuestionID =

I was refering to the line in rmlist
DlistUtils.remove_dlist(listname)
