Hi James.  Although I now recall you had mentioned this on list I had
actually forgotten it (or got names mixed up).

I could imagine having to listen to the information could slow things down
quite a lot.

I'm sorry about that.  I actually spent some time over the response as I
always like my responses to come across sounding even tempered.  I
suppose my only defence is that when people ask for someone to look up
stuff it is usually that they haven't tried everything at their command.
I'm a great believe in the "teach people to fish and you feed them for
life" idea.

be default (albeit experimental).
