Agreed. I may be a bit slow keeping up on this list at the moment, but
move to a forum (well, one that isn't transparantly accessible via a
mailing list as well) and I'm gone - not a deliberate act of "I'm off",
more a case of I never get back to forums, but do check on mailing lists
as I check through my mail.

Hmm, just though, this is my first post so I ought to add a "Hi" to that
:)
