Hi again
BTW: Your signature is missing a comma before the "and":

Thanks very much for the correction. I wonder if the grammar checker that
many people are asking for would have helped?
It's interesting - I was taught at school not to use a comma before the
"and" in a list. Wikipedia raises an interesting issue: the rule you
mention is definitely true with American English, but not necessarily so
outside of America. It is an issue of much debate. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_comma
I'll leave the comma out for the moment (apologies to all Americans), and
I'll keep my eyes open to see what the main usage is here in Australia.
