(returning16/04/2010) Sorry Karl, but Haydon is a real person, I saw him at U2U in Liverpool last year. I actually thought about asking him if he let everybody know then too, but I never talked to him. At that time I was out of the office too, but I didn't think it was important enough to let everybody in the group know. Obviously he just needs another email address that doesn't send out out-of-office replies automatically but doesn't seem to get the message. Nudge, nudge, you know what I mean...
