just one minor correction here guys. It was Sebastian Ferrari that was
accidentaly kicked - not Cameron. The confusion arose because they both have
similar /nicks. (And that doesn't mean that we would have kicked you
Cameron) :-) Sincerest apologies have already been passed on to Seby...Who
BTW graciuosly accepted them :-)
Cheers
