Hi Kris,

I thought that would be the way to go, and am happy to write one up. As 
I say, I'm new here, and all the guidelines strongly advised to get an 
initial reaction from the list first, so I thought I'd draft the key 
points in an e-mail first, and make sure I wasn't wasting my time on 
something that had no chance of being accepted.

Regards,
