So anything which makes it easier or better is gratefully recieved!

Love the way that was selectively censored.
I've sent it.
If they don't deliver it soon let me know and I'll try a different account.

Right, that is it; tis done.
It would still be worth noting typos, and also noting if I have missed you from the list of credits; but I am finished with it, and am handing it over to the Italics to do with as they will.
Congratulations one and all; it is and always will be one of the Guide's Great Collaborative Entries whatever happens to it.
I have to go now, so it resides in the Guide. I will update the Geocities version next weekend. Time and aeroplanes wait for no-one, certainly not for me.

Oh well; no-one can see the new added typos then, I guess.
I am away (working alas, Eccentrica), and cannot update the Geocities version till next weekend. I will do it then, though.
In the meantime - thank you everyone. And fingers crossed, eh?
