Still, if it made you feel like a big man - good for you. Chris </blockquote></div> 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
