Hi :) Phew!! Great :)) I dunno why i was getting in such a stew about all that. Glad to hear you have it all in hand :))
I am going to see if i can find someone from the Users Support mailing list to lend a hand with any of the next steps such as proof-reading or reviewing or something. People here have more experience but a little extra help might make this easier next time.
