considering?
TIA

Typical justice. The innocent are found guilty and the guilty go free.
This guy clearly broke the law by causing the rights holders to lose
¡ê200,000 by charging for his service and he walks free and gets to keep
every penny. Whereas Pirate Bay which provided their service for free and
thus haven't broken any co ...

Thanks to Nemo, and especially to you, for all the help with this,
Mark. To correct these, I shall devise for the programme a system
similar to the ones already in place to correct the names and NGRs.
There are one or two points remaining, and I've also added some more

RE TVs and Philips reliability
Thu, 14 Jan 2010 21:21:34 +0000
