No Graeme, YOU get a life. This is a mailing list, not a forum that's 
being read in a browser, and if you want to make your point please post 
URLs in a form that can easily be transcribed to a browser for cases 
where other people find it convenient to have the two on different 
machines or for other situations where cut-and-paste etc. don't work.

Note that I'm not finding fault with the point you're making, only with 
the way that you're presenting it.
