Could you do the little squiggly red underlines next time please... By all means, but I thought Usenet was meant to be plain text only. I think you may have your irony/sarcasm filter set at the wrong level :-) For the avoidance of doubt, by wiki I did indeed mean the diy wiki and not wikipedia. (as I am sure you are aware there a multitude of wiki sites out there of which wikipedia is just one) I also concede that there were typos in my original post, which was typed in haste, and I did not proof it with care. However, I would suggest absorbing the (imperfect) message and not shooting the messenger! (However in the scale of usenet sins, I would argue that dodgy spelling/typing rates lower than posting binary encoded responses on text only news groups! :-)) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
