It's a great post - and we won't lose it if it gets coded to 'Just 
for a laugh' (plus, perhaps selected replies from the thread). Of all 
the reject categories, though, I must admit that OT is the section 
that I might be most inclined to sort out and code up at a later 
date, should we ever have time..

Hm. You think Kneasy subversive? Beginning to wonder.

Boyd - you want to take 23751-24000? Watch out for the theory 
acronyms that are starting to come in now.
