Kathy - thanks for the shortcuts to the plugins. Appreciate it.

Here's an example of one that landed this morning.

Alfresia Garden Furniture | alfresia@gardeningfurn.co.uk | alfresia.co.uk |
IP: 212.23.26.13

More and more people are concious of what is going on around me included, I
grow srawberries, patatoes, runnerbeans and tomatoes, it saves money and
they always taste better when you grow tham yourself.

Aimed at the right post and everything.

Whois gives the ip address as

OrgName:    RIPE Network Coordination Centre
OrgID:      RIPE
Address:    P.O. Box 10096
City:       Amsterdam


So we have a Dutch company looking for links for the UK registered website.


Off to the dock for Canada Day celebrations.  There's a hammock and book
with my name on them down there somewhere.

Happy Canada Day fellow citizens of the great white north.

Doug
