I'm almost ambivalent, but not quite.  Personally, my goal has always been Top 
of the Honor Roll.  I don't believe I will accomplish this in this lifetime, 
from this location, but that's the goal.  Some folks want to work everything on 
every conceivable band and mode and that too is a fine goal, but not mine. 
Hence, "Mixed" would be my metric. That said, it's not something to get wound up 
about.

You've previously mentioned a column for "Total (All)" which includes deleted 
entities. I think that should suffice.  I assume that the other Band/Mode 
columns are "Current" numbers.  "Challenge" is already defined as only current 
entities.  So if we sort on Challenge, it's current entities; if we sort on 
Mixed then I think that should be current as well.
