Thanks fibo, always good to hear that we are doing something that is appreciated!

Just a side note to other readers, I am thinking of starting up a weekly newsletter of all the stories posted to the blog for the previous week. If your using an RSS reader that would be redundant, but for you that have not set a reader up, and you would like to be kept up to date about what subject are in store for the next podcast, send in your email address to beammeup@gwi.net
