Skunkers, I have to say that this is a very resourceful list and its the reason why most of us still keep subscribed and participating. No matter how many mails I get from skunkworks, I always take a look at what people are saying and keenly follow threads that I have an interest on. Keep the good work up. For the last 3 years I have been working on building a quality question and answer website for Africa and at this time, I can say I feel I am where I wanted to be with it. I have also come up with a short, relevant name. Please give me your view of the site http://majibu.com Also take this as an invitation to participate and assist where need be. If you have questions, post them there as well. To begin with, we are also giving away 3 Blackberry 8100. David. -- ------------- http://majibu.com
