I don't exactly write according to my audience. Perhaps I should just talk about seeing Margate on the front page of the Sun, or pass comments on the 'sword of truth'... actually, the second one did make me chuckle when I read him saying 'sometimes poachers make good gamekeepers'.

And I will take a guess that Solaris and Debian are some sort of Hand crafted organically grown GM free bits of software available at all good handcraft shops for free nodoubt and I reckon the reason I cannot get the damn thing to work. I was working like a dog somewhere in london so my apologies in not commenting earlier.
