Members will be sad to learn that contributor Dave Sterling has died following a long battle with cancer.

There will soon be a number of forum members who will no longer be able to post, and whose names will disappear from the list of forum members.

Dear members, for those of you who use PayPal in order to send your subscription, may I request that you do two things: Please make the payment in GBP (£ sterling) and also tick the appropriate box to designate the transaction either as "Personal Payment Owed" or I think in some countries ...
