I totally agree - both with the sentiment, and the examples. Which reminds me. I promised you a beer and never sorted it out. Not very nice at all. Will sort. (also, I spent a fair old while the other day enjoying hte musical interludes you posted on here a while back. Most excellent). Nice post. I totally agree – both with the sentiment, and the examples.
