The following is rather typical of some of the enquiries which I have
recieved of late.

Is this problem just local to the U.K. or does it trouble you all ?

I would be really grateful if anybody out there could refer me to some basic
papers, texts or articles on starting work in X. Please send title, author,

Uh, to avoid my being sent 10,000 articles, could you just tell me about
stuff produced at your own site.

Many thanks,

Steve
