Stephen,
calm down, you look a little paranoid here! I visited the site and it looks OK for me. Much better than ASTROADS from the usability point of view. I will post my ads.

Sorry Chris but any thing i have not requested be sent
to me is spam and therefore unwanted. No mater what the content. The sender of said spam is asked to stop, if they dont they will find thier inbox becomming very very busy. Any way the site seems a bit geeky and complex for any to get really interested. R "Chris.B" wrote in message om... Stephen Tonkin wrote in message ...
