No. When you complete the fields for your index pages, you are entering

Any information you delete will be permanently erased and lost from
the database. Therefore, be very careful as you alter your
information.

information. You may want to make a list of your topics with their
associated e-mail addresses, your introductory information and
response, and any other pertinent information in a separate text file
as a backup.
