Nothing like a positive post to cheer those hoping to get her up and running.
It is always worth remembering where there is a will there is a way, just look what WHPS have achieved. Richard, I hope you are as successful with this project.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
