Yeah, missed most of it too - came back to 200+ messages after a brief trip
down the road to rescue Molly from the Smoggies (that's Middlesbro for you
Southerners ;-)

Voice of reason once again Tony. I like the banter, and laugh at the
nonsense that goes on here, but in terms of people I would work with/employ
there are plenty who do themselves no favours.
BTW I admit (as long suffering members of the list will know) to being a
pedant, although not always a buffoon, in matters of language and code too -
but not so much of a 'stuffed shirt' (or whatever) as to take offence.
However, it takes all sorts, so please feel free to carry on as usual.

Cheers, Paul.
