Great to hear from you. Did you get the email I sent to IMDb? I saw 
their Bristol Perl job posting and fired an email across about our 
group. Out of interest, where abouts in Bristol are the IMDb offices?

I contacted Sift some time back to try and get the old Bristol.pm list. 
They ran MajorDomo on their own servers (you probably already know 
that). They said they'd try and find the old list but I'm not sure if 
they actually looked. If you have a contact there it would be great to 
add the old bristol.pm list to this one.

That's the way I try to code as well. I'd rather have some spaced out 
and commented foreach loops that are easy for people to read and 
understand, than a great long line of nested grep, map, etc.
