Well, having just seen the most pathetic 'flame war' in one of the 35mm news groups, involving a certain Mr. Polson, who has come to the attention of the LUG on at least one occasion, I have seen the error of my ways. The comments that I responded too were in good humour and in now way malicious. Sooooooo sorry guys, whoever you were. I will never again respond in that way. There, that's enough humble pie - I'm way too full now!
