Well I, for one, agree with you here. And I'd like to go along for the
Sunday session.

Thanks for that link... I meant to ask you about this before given that
I'm working on a project based around CC licenses. I'll have a read
and then maybe get back to you soon. E-mail is a little difficult for me

accidentally disconnected me and now can't reconnect me, at home!
