"The better it gets the more the DH and others go out of their way to critcise. An interesting approach to the open sharing of information"

Just a quick note to say how much I have enjoyed this site. - Thanks for all the hard work. It wouldnt allow GDPs like me to swap ideas and thoughts otherwise. The figures speak for themselves in showing how much a site like this is needed. Keep it up!!
