Thanks for your words of support Dave - I was beginning to think I was in a
minority, but I'm sure I'm not!

One day I really will try to sit down and spend time developing something
for the community - be it Ruby or some other project.  And in the meantime
I'm eternally grateful to others for the work they do and the help they giv=
e
to idiots like me!!!
