Thanks!

I see what you are saying about the Precrisis tag, but I am (slowly) going thru all the Earth-One characters just for fun. If I had to stop and determine if the character has a post-crisis counterpart or is just a throwaway before adding the Precrisis tag, that would be more work for me, not less.

Also, I think the Precrisis tag can be used more widly now that New Earth is dead. Back when New Earth was the main continuity, you could look at at a character like Viper and say "He hasn't appeared post-Crisis, but is that because someone decided he doesn't belong, or just because no one has had a reason to reference him yet?". But now that New Earth itself is gone (except for special events like Convergence), we can pretty definitely say "Viper had almost 30 years to appear on New Earth and he did not. He must have gone with Crisis".
