So there you have it. Appologies for those who do not like their formatting in
their e-mails.
Forest Research is a great place to work for. The pay is less than what you
would get in Auckland, but Rotorua is a fantastic place to live (especially for
young families).
cheers,
see you all at my new e-mail address (although they may still use this one
for a while).
Phil Middlemiss.
