    MF,

    what's happened ?

    I know for the last 12 months or so I've not been around much, been busy with me dot net, got
    a demanding customer at the moment, but still, have I missed a few episodes or something ?

    Can someone give me the omnibus edition.

    Get a grip on yourself.

    Milan.

    And elk are not moose. Granted they are close to moose but they are a different species in the deer family.
