Marcus, Rakey & Salocin, thanks for the kind words.
Having thought about this over the last 24 hours, I find it
all too easy to criticise the current design direction! Great debate is one thing, but I find myself drawn back to the "livelier" side of debate about the new designs
time and time again 
I feel uncomfortable about this and would just like to
take a break for a while and look to return when I can happily make a more varied contribution to the site again
Till then, have fun...
Tigger.
