Could I just say what a model of good practice Ibrahim's post was. It's
very frustrating when anyone posts a message saying, in effect, 'you should
take a look at this' and providing just a web link. Often, after waiting
for my browser to fire up, I find that it is of insufficient interest to me.
Summarising the content in the e-mail *and* providing the link takes longer,
of course, but saves time for every member of the list.
