Ok then, Ciemon, Alan & all other people associated with the creation of
this podcast. I'm sorry for interrupting your release post. I just think
that you deserve a little more appreciation than you received.

I really like your Podcast, and I hope that some development time can be
applied to it to polish it. Excuse me for being such an arse, I hate taking
the piss and moaning, but its just some people don't know something good has
happened when they see it.

Kris
