When I wrote my comments I was not thinking of anyone in particular, but of a general attitude among QL users. In his contribution Richard made some good points, especially about MS being caught on the hop by the growth of the internet, but the fact remains that most people access this list via an MS system. Pity that the QL possibilities to which he refers were not further developed. Remember the feeling about QL emailing and internet access at Portsmouth 2000 when there was almost a First World War attitude of "It will be over by Christmas" , in spite of Jon Dent's unequivocal warning that there was still a lot of work to do? How far have we advanced in the last two years, or are we still in the trenches? We have the right to be MS haters, but let's be realistic about our own shortcomings even if these are mainly because of the fact that we are all unpaid and doing it in our spare time. Geoff Wicks
