Good thinking. I wanted to send a quick note to thank everyone who's  
pimped me up on wwr... always nice to get back into the top 100 -  
though i'm a couple away from doing it, and about 5 off from  
comfortably being in the list :)

I'll be dropping into wwr later and recommending everyone that rec'ed  
me - and also these lot - people who do cool things should get the  
nod. :)
