Hi Luci & all,
Thank you to everyone and NMC for being open-minded and flexible enough,
to allow such a mini-discussion to suddenly break out happen here - it
has been pretty dynamic for involved and those watching I hope.
Signing off and will discuss other issues according to the lists own
agendas...
thanks again :-)
