I do grovellingly apologize for my appalling breach of netiquette.  I am 
of course assuming that the rules have changed and that it's now my 
responsibility to wade back through maybe a couple of hundred responses

to achieve my ambition of being a pot smoking hippy CEO of a web 
development company :(
