Just in case anyone had any doubts as to why I no longer regularly contribute to threads on CUK (apart from being significantly busier these days) - multiple examples of threads like this....are mainly the reason....CUK is more like Agent Bashing Central. I'll be back to contribute on threads that take the direction malvolio is headed, working together to iron out the traditional issues and generate mutually beneficial relationships!
