Hi,

Thanks for the written permission.  It should avoid any future
problems.  Were you also interested in having an http://nmr-relax.com
email address?  Just say what you'd like at the front of @nmr-relax
dot com, and to which email address it should forward to.  I'm
guessing that would be the leeds email address?

Cheers,

Edward
