Hi Martin--

This looks like a great way to do things. Now if we could only
translate those bloomin' British English spellings! NEIGHBOURHOOD
indeed. :-)

As a side note, I believe that your message would have actually shown
up as a reply to Richard's or JD's messages in the archive, if you had
placed the Message-ID of their article in the References header of
yours. I've tried it here. We'll see if it works.

Craig
