Lets please keep the chatter down here, I don't mind small amounts- but if you'd like to discuss this together then please use private e-mail or the chatroom provided.
Remember that we do generate quite a lot of e-mails per week and we don't want anyone's inboxes overloading due to not enough memory now do we?
