Ooer, Anna, just saw this shameless plug. I must point out I am just the warm up for the two star turns, and I do have a tendency to either read fluently but at such speed that you need to be on Pro Plus to keep up, or carefully and stumblingly so the audience is in danger of falling asleep. Am just pondering whether to chuck in a couple of pages from the latest scribblings, but that may just confuse issues. Thanks for the mention, though:-) Shyama
