Wow.  Oh how the mighty have fallen, from an adulatory spread 
in Wired to a mention in The Independent.  And to think that

I sound like an idiot, so I'm glad she mispelled my name.

Well you have two possibilities:

:-D             Wider happy face (or Mistrel singers)
:-)))           reeeel happy, big smile

Always glad to be of help... Keep  in touch and we'll meet again in 2001
(if not sooner, some people in  the Netehrlands say that once every four
years just isn't enough ;-)
