sorry if i'm completely off the mark or late with this but i swear i was reading your exchange(s) with Pete as they happened
And it's quite possible that you already know this so forgive me... but Pete responded again on nohartandsole

I'm going to feel really idiotic if i'm pointing out the obvious, sorry. I must admit i'd been hanging round on buzznet to see what else he had to say in reply

anyway i'd like to say i'm completely on board with your argument.

/end wierd lurkerness
