The analysis you supplied was quite revealing......thanks.

At this stage of the game, wouldn't it be apropos for a co-ordinated
implementation of FHS' Internet facilities? There is, I believe, a national
association (Federation of FHS?) based at Birmingham who would be in a
position to encourage such a move, wouldn't they? Or does it need GENUKI to
lead the way, supported by membership pressure in local FHS' only?

I can understood the wish for local FHS' to remain autonomous, but on
issues like this, I would have thought that direction is best served from a
central group.

Perhaps this debate should be aired on other lists also?

Best regards,

John.
