(excuse top posting, am using my phone to write this) Thanks for the explanation... I did everything in Charles Kerr's name, and then realised my mistake and went off to update names here and there.
I think part of my confusion is that Petr has left Charles name on the change logs, so it suggested Charles was pitching in again. I posted that message before I noticed that Petr was also doing the website - I am bad with names on a good day ;-) Steve On 21 Feb 2011, at 06:52, Duncan <1i5t5.dun...@cox.net> wrote: > Steve Davies posted on Sun, 20 Feb 2011 12:47:29 +0000 as excerpted: > >> Charles, please note that Google changed the URL for their sites, so the >> new URL is: http://sites.google.com/site/paninstall/ > > I'm not sure if you slipped with that, or meant a different Charles, or > haven't been keeping up, but in the event it's the latter and since a few > others may see the announcement and wonder what's up, then find this > thread, here's a brief explanation... > > FWIW, Charles (I assume you mean Charles Kerr) has, "for all in tents and > porpoises" (^;= "moved on to other interests".
