Uh-oh. Then I should have bowed low twice in the overall direction of the
U.K.
Good organization, nonetheless, Alison. Always remember to accept credit
when offered, and accept blame only when proven beyond doubt by a jury of
peers (and even then get a good solicitor/barrister).
I never could figure out which was the prosecutor and which the defense.

Hi,
I got that write-up from Dan, so cannot claim any credit, although I did
probably organize bits of it into different places. smiles.
Kind Regards,
