Hi Jim and all the others,
I'm just about to open a 14p bottle of Chinese Beer (2006 a very good year) and drink to your health and the continued growth of the site.
Cheers guys, thanks for all you hard work.

Thanks guys... a sysadmins job is never done. Checking logs, backtracking IP addresses to servers, domains, and users of origin. Some people even think they can do malicious stuff and it not get back to them. :-)
Silly people...
Cheers,

Perhaps something to do with my not being able to access the network for a few hours today?
Anyhow, I raise my gluebottle to you and the staff, it's appreciated all around.
