Just one thought.... is the '4' in place of 'four' perhaps a little laboured? My one concern with this is that the use of 'text message' dilberate misspellings always seems like a rather contrived attempt to appeal to 'youth culture' to me.
I'd also like to add that i'd be happy to help with any design / artwork requirements you might need for this... is the 'starter pack' going to be in dead-tree or electronic form? also, given the recent criticisms of the fc-uk wiki, would it be worth trying to put together a FC4S microsite that is 'friendlier' in appearance? cheers, Tim On 6/5/06, Rufus Pollock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I'm definitely willing to help on this.
