Though I too am very much of the party that the archives shd remain locked only as a temporary measure surely the consensus view (with apologies to those who feel they shdn't be locked at all) is that they should be locked for now, whatever their long-term condition will be. (I dunno what packet sniffers are, either, sounds like something gluey that used to happen in the lifts here, before they put on the 24 hour security guards. Or are they Crisp-spotters, the forthcoming novel by Irving Welsh?) Best Dave
