Stuart,

It's really a good document ;)

I added my own personal star rating to most links from * (for mediocre, has no use to promote trash sites http://www.dvdoctor.net/cgi-bin/ubb/smile.gif ) to ***** for excellence.

I tried to have an animalrating similar to that of tucows but alas I didn't find apropiate http://www.kheper.auz.com/gaia/biosphere/vertebrates/ungulata/hippo.jpg pictures http://www.dvdoctor.net/cgi-bin/ubb/smile.gif


Cheers

Hendrik wanted to have all postings to this forum emailed to him automatically - there's dedication for you!

I've now done this so, hopefully, he'll get this and know it's working!
