Simon, I like your first logo.  Is anyone else contemplating designing a
logo for us? That's a great idea too!  Would it somehow be inserted into the
header or footer of each message or just be placed on the homepage?"

Thanks. If anyone else decides that they wish to become all artistic then
feel free to do some more possible logos. The two I have done were ideas I
got during the chat on Sunday. I am unsure if we can attach pictures to the
footer / quote area at the bottom of each message - I will investigate.


Penny asked: "Okay, I've pondered & pondered . . . and looked it up in the
dictionary . . . what are "duplos"???  <g>"

I am assuming it is the same as the duplo stuff in the UK.
A type of children's building block toy thing. It is made by Lego (as in the
lot that make Lego) and is designed for younger children (1 year - 5 years
roughly about right if my memory serves me right). It will soon become a
friend if you wish your child to become a construction engineer, or if you
wish to develop hand-eye coordination. It is still one of my favourite toys
and I still have a large collection of Lego - some of which is nearly as old
as me!

jumping in...I'd already been skipping messages that seemed political so I
didn't read your instructions of earlier today. I was just getting sick of
encountering political rhetoric in messages entitled "James died first"..."

I can understand Steve's point. Off topic discussions of major events, such
as this election issue, are reasonably ok. Can people just make sure the
comments are made in messages with subject lines that reflect the contents
of the message?

This really goes for all messages. The subject line is there as some sort of
summary to the topics of the message. Please update it if the message
subject changes. This especially helps all of us that are involved in
writing FAQ's.
