I was thinking of doing something like this, books distros etc of course if it it was OK with Nexus and vfxweb. i can't see any reason either would think it was a BAD idea but i was not going to mention it first time round but now that you have brought it up i'll ask Paul and does Nexus follow these threads or would someone like to call them? It is a good idea from my point of view because i can't see any conflict with vfx's business and it is great way to say to Nexus " We haven't forgoten you"
