Marcus:

I think your pushy approach has done wonders. You'll probably keep getting
under some peoples skin but that seems to liven things up here.

If I had to care I'd agree with Marcus, however I barely do.

Please try and make peace with Helen tho, she's got more brownie points for
supporting 'the database' than you'll have for quite some time yet (if
ever).

Cheers
Adam

about a good idea. It is not a mass of dunderheads needing a daily
hammering to get a point.
