Thanks - if anything comes of this argument I hope that it encourages
more UK-lurkers to post to s.b.e.l if they have something to say.

Well I think the numbers 'for' are not all that many - and as the
argument goes on a few are starting to change alliegance.

Thanks for you support on this. If it comes to a vote I hope we can
count on all who feel this way to vote against the new group.

Best wishes,
