Agreed. I may be a bit slow keeping up on this list at the moment, but move to a forum (well, one that isn't transparantly accessible via a mailing list as well) and I'm gone - not a deliberate act of "I'm off", more a case of I never get back to forums, but do check on mailing lists as I check through my mail. Hmm, just though, this is my first post so I ought to add a "Hi" to that :) -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
