Sorry Adam - it wasn't meant as a disparaging remark. None of what I'm trying to say here is meant as such - quite the opposite. More what I'm saying is that it's natural for things to go out of date - which is fine. Just watch out if there are old links hanging around which could cause confusion to newcomers - as happened in my case. That's all.
