Hi Imelda, No the list is here its just that I had so much on in recent months that I couldn't dedicate more time to it. I am glad too that there is life out there and I would like more people like yourself Imelda to come back onto the list and give ideas and suggestions to us for improvments. Good to hear from you Imelda, I will do more on radio if there is an interest in it and I will ask my friend and work colleague Stu the man Lawler if he could give us some help with this topic. Paul. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Imelda Neiland Sent: 03 March 2007 13:09 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Re: Listening to radio on the net!
