Dear Britpo member - Last month there were 294 messages sent to this list, the most in a month since the list began in November 1996. In all, over the 12 months there've been 1403 messages at an average of 116 per month. But hey, who's counting? Perhaps I should propose an award on the 27th of this month ("our" first birthday) for the silliest posting over the year. Prize "to be announced"; nominations for any message sent *by a current list-member* are invited, deliberately silly messages are invalid, as are abusive ones... My own nomination might be my message of 30th April advertising the new ALP catalogue, which I heralded as being "1977". No-one corrected me... ___________________________________________________________ Richard Caddel Durham University Library, Stockton Rd., Durham DH1 3LY, UK E-mail: [log in to unmask] Phone: +44 (0)191 374 3044 Fax: +44 (0)191 374 7481 WWW: http://www.dur.ac.uk/~dul0ric "Words!
