   Hi Leigh and David,

   Leigh I could swear I saw an offer by you to include the posts that 
I had in excess. At this stage don't worry as I'm
   not sure how they should be counted yet. (They are already listed 
under a different name). At this stage I wouldn't
   count the ToBeReviewed pages yet.(perhaps see what David says). If 
you have a nett loss of 9 pages it has been
   just a manual adjustment to the total in the Alterations to NewDocs 
Page. Your suggestion of posting the total number
   of pages is interesting - perhaps a blanket statement such as "Over 
900 Documentation Pages" and 72 Helpful Links
   may be worth thinking about?

   With kind regards to you both,
   Geoff.
   PS Thanks for the info on links - I'll get my old brain onto it!
