Tony is quite right about the fragility of the WWW. It has turned into a wonderful resource, and a great many institutions and individuals have carried our scanning programmes making a huge amount of material and information accessible. But like Tony, having done the research and written the piece, whether it is a contribution to a book, an article or just for myself, it gets copied onto a black box and also printed out. The current situation is a clear demonstration of the vulnerabilty of on line communication and access to sites. The huge increase in use from homes can overload demand and cause sites to stall or fail. After the little Longbridge difficulties into which the forum fell, it's huge thanks to the team who put it back together, well done and thanks again.
