RE: Rhetorical CBUS question... One for Phil H maybe?

["Paul Gordon" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Crikey, has it been that long... - I knew you'd left, but that year
rather flew by...

... "Vooom...."
... "what was that?"....
... "That was your life mate"...
... "Oh, do I get another?"...
... "Sorry mate"....

I just wondered if you might have some inside knowledge from your time
there, - maybe even know who was responsible... - it's a long shot, I
know. :-)
