...It did not seem to be spam. I... I suspect that you my be being overgenerous ... If you just saw the sheer volume of dross we have to clear away, day in day out all hours of the day, just to keep this forum clean and tidy then your Spammometer would probably be registering red too ;) And apologi...

Gale, Many thanks for your thoughtful feedback - much appreciated as always. And thanks too for the text trimming I agree that helps. <<<Structurally it seems kind of odd - you have Foundations, Advanced issues then go "back" in perceived difficulty to more basic tutorials.>>> Actually you...

I think we need a link, but I'm not sure if it should be in the Sidebar - if it is, it has implications for the offline manual that is included in the downloads.
