But you maintain the site ? Just go in there, "rm -r *" and replace with a page, er, explaining the situation ? Being very careful not to say anything that could be considered libellous, Of Course. You have my sympathy, Frank, you really do. It's not _entirely_ a thankless task running a good website, but it doesn't need much to go wrong before you can feel it's not worth it. "A good deed never goes unpunished", someone told me once. And it's only a few days since I went there, wondering if I could check the notes of Dowland's "Mistress Winters' Jump", which I've been learning from a local melodeon player (!!). Intriguing title, good tune. -- Richard Robinson "The whole plan hinged upon the natural curiosity of potatoes" - S.
