    You could put "Formally known as" in the from column along with "been here since ~ and had # posts before so don't treat me as a newbie" annat.

    Dunno if anyone has mentioned it yet - I'm on holiday, haven't got time to read 13 pages - but I would like to be able to change my own login name. I'm sick of being anonymous!

    Simple Judy. Just sign up again under your real name, new name, new password, new account. You can just ignore your old one or use it for mischief if you so desire.

    Way to get sidetracked.
    Anypoo. How about a button under our ID column, like the one to send eMail, to send other stuff, great tie in opportunities for Russell there. We could have things like "Send a Flower" through Interflora or what have you. Or send a Pony for those special people, or send a Cake. Or even and I like this one. Send a Hitman for certain posters from Taiwan.

    Opera comes from Norway, I didn't know that.
    Norway is, in some ways similar to New Zealand but not many.

    All the spellcheckers I've encountered are monolingual and that's just wrong. I'd love it if they were able to accommodate more than one language at any one time, for reasons of obviousness.

    I run several browsers for different reasons but tend to use Opera for PAS. Opera has a spellcheck add on from Aspell and you can add as many languages as you like. You can also teach it your own "personal" spellings.
    I still can't understand why it only has 2% of the browser market.

    What's this Focus Group doing in my Ball Park ?

    I was chatting to a mate last night about R&D tax relief. He pointed out that the likes of Fonterra would claim the relief based on stuff like researching new logos and packaging. I had to concur.

    what time window is appropriate.

    Ten seconds. Oh how I love to watch people panic.

    Promise not to nag about your lack of an edit button ;-)

    Classic coming from you Russ. ;-)
    Take no notice of Lance and Bryan, they're just too lazy to read quality stuff and need to be spoon fed. RSS feed? pah!.
