Trevor - the really astonishing aspect of this thread is that it stayed pretty much on-topic for 8 pages.
If you browse this site for just a short while, you will appreciate just how rare an occurence that is. I have, to my shame/credit, perpetuated more than one "thread hi-jacking" in the past, not sure how I managed not to this time.
Personally, I learnt a great deal from it, and thoroughly enjoyed the interactions. Even with Evan.
Long live Anglo/US collaboration(or should that be US/Anglo????).
Edit: Now that I said the above about staying on topic, this thread is doomed to become the greatest example of "topic swerving" in the history of CC!
