Sometimes despite all our high technology, a simple doorbell was all

In the original message my mobile phone number was posted.
I'd rather keep it off the web. Ben has kindly removed the posts that included my number, but just in case anyone replies to the original message, I'd appreciate it if you could avoid quoting my number in your reply (otherwise I'll have to ask Ben to remove your message from the google group).
Cheers,
Bernie.
