| <font color="red">ANNOUNCEMENT:</font>  As you may well have noticed, the Wiki was down for over a day, since early afternoon June 20th - this was due to an unexpected server migration with the hosting ISP.  Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.  I'm not happy about the events that have occurred, but I am working to have the wiki back up to date as soon as possible.  Thanks for your patience and support.<br>--[[User:Thebruce|thebruce]] 19:25, 21 June 2007 (MST)
