Hey,
So in preparing a status report for my bosses bosses boss [1], I figured
that there was probably nothing in it that couldn't be sent here - I
might even archive it on the web for posterity :)
May not be of any real interest to anyone on the list, so let me know if
you heavily object to this kind of stuff being posted.
Glynn
[1] You can see how many degrees of freedom I'm away from Scott -
fricken miles, and just about half way there.. ;)
