Kyt'll be chuckling to himself while surrounded by teetering piles of books. Cross him with an octopus and he'd be even more of a referencing machine.

I love the "anoraks" reference and you're right on the money.

You've cracked me up!

to quote, start whatever you wish to enclose with [quote] at the beginning and finish with ['/quote] (remove the apostrophe ', which I've used to stop the sentence becoming, wait for it, a quote! )

or just press the "reply" button on the bottom left corner of each message

And I admit to being an anorak, though you wouldn't se me dead wearing one

Cross me with an octopus and I'd be a very happy boy - but having a skivvy to find and fetch the books I want would be even better.

There's a place for them, Kyt, that's for sure. Rather than being seen as an anorak, I would prefer something like a "history preserver"! A fine balance between detail and not alienating people is how you get your point across and that's what this forum is all about.

Also, Owen, hit reply at the bottom right of the post you want to quote and you get an automatic quote that you can cut down to the relevant part if need be.

Thanks for the IT advice, one and all.

I'll try to nail it next time.

Cheers
