Project Skin Problems is now (finally) nearing completion. Unfortunately, Peregrin has had to drop out of the sub-ed's role, would anyone else fancy stepping in to help? Please? Pretty please? smiley - grovel

Thanks Chris, but please note the words 'nearing completion', I've a couple more pages to update yet but that still leaves several that a sub-ed could make a start on.

So begging didn't work.

Hmmm, I wonder if bribery will?

smiley - stiffdrink or smiley - choc anyone?

Oh hum, so bribery failed too... smiley - sadface

The project had been finished now and awaits the kind and loving attention of a sub-ed.

OK, I'm accepting the bribes - I'm volunteering!

However, it may take a week or so before I could begin with subbing because there's another project to be finished first. And a bit of warning, I'm a programmer, not a doctor, and all my medical knowlegde comes from watching 'Emergency Room' smiley - winkeye - so I won't be of any help if there were any factual errors smiley - yikes to be corrected.

Anyway, congrats to you for finishing your project. smiley - cheers

Thank you thank you thank you smiley - choc and smiley - stiffdrink as promised.

Whoami? has also dropped me a line offering help, so if you are too busy with the other project, please just say so and I'll give Whoami? a shout.

As to the medical facts, well, I'm just an office grunt, not a doctor, so i did do the research thoughly - I think.. I hope! Stuff like drug names were triple checked so should all be OK - they play merry havoc with the speck checkers though.

Anyway thank you again, and don't feel any need to rush, this blasted project has taken me more than 6 months to complete after all...

smiley - cheers
