During this period please refer any urgent messages (discoveries) to Martin Mobberley whose telephone numbers are: (01284) 828431 (weekends) (01245) 475297 (weekdays) Martin can also be contacted on the internet: 100413.760@compserve.com but please also send a copy to the Editor's mailbox at Demon. Non-urgent messages should continue to be sent to the Editor's mailbox. Currently there is a serious backlog of non-urgent e-mail which remains unanswered due to the Editor working on a special project for employers throughout January. On my return I will endeavour to clear this gradually but please ensure that 'urgent' appears in the subject line if you feel a fast reply is essential. Guy M Hurst
