Hi :) I have been told, off-list, that i am quite wrong about what i have been saying about Base.
I'm not clear exactly which bits of what i have said are wrong. Almost all of what i said was things i had picked-up from experts on this mailing list or discussions elsewhere, rather than from my own direct experience or knowledge of the issues. It would be nice to know where i am wrong to help me be less wrong in the future! Also it would be good for such corrections to be in this thread if possible because it has been a really good thread with a lot of good feedback about different people's knowledge and experience. Finally if i have given people a wrong impression about Base then it would be nice to be able to fix that.
