Hi Tim,

> Well aspiring Mongers are welcome with us if you still want to join in :)

The more the merrier!  Bring your friends, welcome!  I don't consider
myself to be an expert, but I'm hoping that through this PM, that
might get a little closer for all those who want to go in that
direction.

Thanks for the list, I'll start working my way through it.

Welcome to those people who've joined us after the posts to the
Manchester BCS list and also to GeekUp!  If you're not feeling too
nervous, do that first post thing and introduce yourself!  Our numbers
are small, yet perfectly formed ;-)

That does indeed sound like an excellent plan.
