We could have a great BUF web site.....but there's no way Scottie can do it all on his own; IMHO the BUF web job should be split between at least one programmer/designer and someone else updating the database of content (results/news items). I think if Scott had the support of someone filling in the words and pictures (ie being in editorial control), he wouldn't have got so swamped and we could really move the site forward. Big question - Is it worth it? It's alot of one or two peoples' time and we must weigh up the benefits before we set off down any particular path. Anyway, ANY TIME YOU UTI YOUNGSTERS!!!!! cya Roger PS see http://www.kbw.co.uk/shotgun for our web site if you haven't already. PPS see http://www.number-10.gov.uk for an example of what I do during the day. This site was launched last week, and yes, we did get to meet Tony.
