Ye gods! I remember that site from yonks back. Glad to see it's back up
and flourishing. :)

Yes, I recall. Were you around at the time to recall perhaps *why* that
was?

That is very kind of you, Jack. This is the sort of thing that we need
-- a means to be able to spread the word, as it were. I'm under the
impression that a great many people simply don't realise that there was
a split from SSC. They probably think that the LG has gone CMS on them,
and so they're just accepting that fact.
