erm -- strange.  This message was sent on the 8th and then bounced back
to me for some reason.  I have since sorted this out.  It was actually a
problem with my phone line.  It seems my telecom company decided to play
around with the phone lines in my area, and the result was a bad
connection for a day or two.

Cheers,
Marc
