A rather silly thing

[Phill Whiteside]

The page is perfect, has been overviewed etc. Just that it has vanished on
the move. I make no mistake that there is well over 10 man hours of serious
editing gone into it, just from me. Not to mention the time others have put
into it.

I have *NO* history, nor trace of it.

If I had, I would deal with it.

Regards,

Phill.
