Finally returning to the grindstone after indulging in a little light
assault and battery on the main board.

MEG - no major probs with the doc that I can see, though this
copyright niggle enters realms far beyond my ken. I can't add anything 
constructive to that, I'm afraid.

I agree that too many hyperlinks would defeat the whole object of the 
exercise (well, nearly), plus if something can be accessed via the 
search facility,  even via a hyperlink, does that impinge on the 
copyright thingy?

More generally - one year? Maybe - as the shortest estimate; the 
contrasting extreme would be about the time the next Ice Age rolls over 
us. It's a bit of a "how long is a piece of string?"
question, but I  really think we should try and get up to date before 
the next book is published.

Personally I have no problem sticking around until we're up to date or 
nearly so (it's the frog in the well problem), but at that point I'll 
probably bow out. Coding current posts could be handed over as an 
Admin/Housekeeping function. It shouldn't be too onerous, or at least 
not until the site goes bananas with book 6.
Whaddaya think?

BTW - I can read xxx.doc files with no trouble, it only garbles when 
it's in tabular form - which can usually be rectified with some nifty 
work with my space, tab keys. Oddly the mac version you kindly posted 
was unreadable on my mac. Very strange.
