Woah! Amazing...

Second Ken with thanks again to Decktician and his amazing late night note-taking all those years ago and for sharing the fruits of his labours with us.

And also thanks again for the efforts of everyone involved on all the assorted archive projects going on in these parts over the past few years. 

Cheers,

SW

Was thinking this might be related to the New Look stuff and hoping it will resolve itself in time. Did have a brief problem yesterday accessing the wiki at one point, but that seemed to get sorted out pretty quickly.
