Hi Liam,
I hope you did not think me harsh. I am trying to get
the Dublin Writers Forum buzzing. Please sign in a
look up my recent posting in General Discussion. You
will also find there my version of Pangur Bawn and a
short piece 'Trickle of Time'. I look forward to
finding in the Forum.

In the beaten way of friendship,
Chris
