Dear All I have resisted this discussion so far because I only read Ian's initial message (many hours late) after being at work yesterday night. I totally understand the frustration of locating AWOL volunteers but I have been persuaded by Dave M's recent arguments. However, it scares me silly that one day, I might fall out with the FreeBMD management (yes, I know, a *very* funny idea) and remove my files - just because I can. I could do this over and over (after each update) if I felt so inclined (and angry) - would there be a point where my access to 'my' files would be prevented? Best Wishes Virginia
