Thanks to all for the encouragement. All suggested amendments have now been made. Keep your comments coming, as long as they're directly related to the topic. Anyone wishing to scribble a quick profile of themselves, their club or journal, or whatever, or just drop a few lines in to let people know who you are, you're welcome to. It helps when new members know who they may be talking to.
Oh, and thanks to the lovely Jess for stickying this!
