Er, OK -Incredible..... seemed such an innocent little criticism at the time! And still may well have been largely correct, not that I'd be particularly keen in pursuing it further. Maybe I shouldn't have put the thing about the Amazon voucher or something :-/

Hope you all have nice relaxing weekends......

I'm really trying hard to resist the urge to complain about people cluttering up my inbox by sending email to the list complaining about people cluttering inboxes.

Clearly I failed.

If you are worried about cluttering people's inboxes, please don't exacerbate the problem.

Thank you.
