Hello!
The one thing I would not have done is bother anyone privately! I
simply wanted to know who to reference in the appropriate e-mail
indirectly. Naturally the message would have gone directly to this

I have seen enough people have their heads handed back to them for
writing to someone directly, and it beind done on this list.
