abroad, especially to Americans and Canadians. Hence they have run 
out, especially at online places that are the main source of such

Thanks for the reply, Simon.  I'm sure you must be right.  I'll keep 
checking back with them.  I hope the wait won't be too long; I'm 
having some really bad withdrawals...

Nick and that he ha been finding HPforGU too busy, especially as he

of recently), and so may either by lurking or wandered off for a 
while. He has not been in any of the online chats recently, so it

Oh, that probably is him.  I remember way back when I first joined, 
he seemed much more active.  I skipped around a bit in the archives 
and found so many names I recognized, but haven't seen in such a long 
time.  A shame...
