This is what mailing lists are for and I am thrilled to see so many people posting for the first time!

I do not appologise though (well maybe a littlle) for this sight has been quite quiet for some time, I thought it about time we stated our interests, even just for the sake of any new comers. There is nothing worse than joining a new list and having no-one answer your interests. I will be more tactful next time.
