Hi

(Sorry this was supposed to go out on my fairhaven account not my work email. 
I do apologies if it comes through twice, still learning kmail!!)
Just out of curiosity, why not host some of the stuff on the tuhs website ? (i 
could be wrong and their might be some copy write stuff but if  dmr wont 
mind ?

Regards,
Angus
