Must be frightening to have all that power, Mr Kains...
I'd like to thank you, David for your contribution of readily available STN's
over the years. I know it wasn't just as simple as slapping the page down on a
scanner for you. I hope somebody can step into the breach and provide warnings
(and maybe even short summary timetables) of interesting happenings before they
occur from now on. How about a mailing list?
