Please - because:
I'm doing ok as a Scout.
I'm not a professional but I'm reasonably good at this sort of stuff.
Skankyrich made me do it.

Sorry - carry on

If I can just explain to our paymasters why I suggested the scheme to Alex...
I've subbed a few of the great double-A's Entries in the past, and they never need more than a couple of tweaks - and frankly, whose don't? His Entries are impeccably written, well-linked and his GuideML is clear and well laid out. I can honestly say I struggle to think of anyone outside the group that would make a better Sub; send him the test pronto!
Now, Mr Ashman, about that ten quid you offered me

I've also subbed a couple. Felt pretty much redundant on both occasions.
(I'm not angling for money, honest 
)

I would offer you both money, but I'm stony broke

Sorry for the delay in replying, but we wanted to give people time to sign up before working through the applications all at once.
I'll be dropping you an email later today with information on the next stage... [cue ominous music]

Right, I've sent it, although I'm not sure if Yahoo has decided to process the GuideML tags and display just the text 
I've sent a Word Document of it as well...
