Bill Thanks for your reply. Our intention is to publish a few of the more interesting Q&As as a service to our UK readers. At the suggestion of Rich Nute we will do this having first obtained permission and we will naturally give full credit to all sources, which hopefully should result in more subscribers to this and your newsgroup. We simply believe that it is all part of the "communications mix" and the more avenues that encourage interactive technical discussion the better. Yes please keep posting the FAQs on your news group. We may start a UK newsgroup but will contact you direct as this is really a UK domestic matter.
We hope this fully clarifies our position and intentions.
