Yes, first part of the first instance:

<PAIR key="kmm-matched-tx" value="
&#60;!DOCTYPE 
MATCH>
&#60;CONTAINER>
&#60;TRANSACTION 
id="" postdate="2008-11-25" ...

They are from 15+ years ago and I think the account was closed a while 
ago. I don't think I deleted the account but I may have deleted equities 
that were in it if KMM would have allowed that. I have a vague 
recollection of trying to close or delete some things here many years ago.

It returns 75.
