Awww, thanks, Sheepish. Sorry about the spelling - it has always been a great weakness of mine. I do go through the spell check, but obviously not thoroughly enough (unless there are UK/US spelling differences here, I am using UK English. I will check).

If you have time, would you point out the sentences you refer to as fragmented? There is a possiblity that they are just badly written, of course; but there is a possibility that it is a purposeful writing style/choice that just isn't working, so I need either to change my style or improve it.

Will try to build up a network of willing proofreaders... thinks, where's that DeSade chappy gone? echoes baby, you around?

thanks
