Hi James,

thanks for looking into this. The first of the posts you mention below
never showed up on the list (from my side) and when I sent the next
one last night, I waited about 10-15 minutes and when It too did not
seem to show up I decided to contact Arie (as I have his email
address) but then shortly after sending the email to him my posting to
the list showed up. So I have no idea what happened.

Regards,
Chris Griffin
