There is a database behind it which we host here, and they send updates for it on a regular basis. </quote> I've never used your service but in theory you have my address on tap too. >> There is a database behind it which we host here and heaven help the person if the details supplied by AP are incorrect... sorry, I've gone all "1984"-ish recently...
