There were other motives as well, which I'm replying to Peter about off-list. And I don't agree with Steve - there are very few people active on the list he's talking about (if he and I are talking about the same one, which I think we are) who don't post to at least one of (a) this list (b) the Cutweb list or (c) uk.rec.waterways.
