Back to our roots

In some of the database issues we've had over recent months, the first few months of posts to this forum - from early 2007 thought to sometime that summer - were lost. Not sure if anyone noticed - no-one told me anyway, but I was looking for (and failed to find) a subject the other day, and I investigated. Cutting a long story short, the first 1000 posts are now back online - and here are some shortcut links to most of them just in case you want to take a look at what we were talking about 9 years ago!
