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?

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?
or anyone?

Oh hum, so bribery failed too...
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' - so I won't be of any help if there were any factual errors to be corrected.
Anyway, congrats to you for finishing your project.

Thank you thank you thank you and 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...

Hi Sue,
the other project isn't taking as much time as expected, so I'm glad to sub your project. See you soon, I'll email Chris to yank the entries over to me.
