Thanks for the comprehensive summary, Kai.

Right. I suspect that's the bit that usually causes a furrowed brow or two -

Thanks again,
No problem, Nick. Since I've gleaned a lot of good stuff from you, it's good
to get a chance to return the compliment.
Oh - and thanks for changing the subject to something more appropriate. (I
