Good point, and I agree with it.

But Steve, it's not a necessity to visit it - I doubt there'll be much
there that is not really covered here. Any cute little images etc can
always be forwarded via a file request or similar if you don't have
internet access. What Dave is proposing is an extension to this echo, not a
replacement. Even if it is never used, it doesn't really cost anybody
anything except a little time and effort.

Cheers,       __
