Huw, how about getting up a virtual petition and sticking it up all over the
place? I'm happy to publicise it on a number of BB's and I'm sure others
could assist with real or virtual presence.

How about it? I remember you once told me if you have a penny from
everybody who said how good the rotary sounded you'd almost have enough to
buy a round!

You'll have hurry at this stage. Good luck mate
