Not all of them were new to me of course, but Rich has certainly provided quite a few new people, and names or email addresses for more. I have also managed to correct a few of his, and improved his understanding of international dialling codes (8-)# I even have two recent emails from Rich in my inbox awaiting time for processing! >It is a pity that there are so many people on this list at least (maybe >Tony could emailshot his mailing list) who have responded to the poll >on sinclairql.net about where the QL2004 meeting should be held. .... who have _not_ responded you mean (8-)# I gave up because of system problems - it will not recognise the password it sent me. Also the question is badly put, so I would not be able to answer it anyway. It needs phrasing better - maybe separating the questions. >Maybe it shows the general apathy amongst the users. Indeed.
