Hi Anna and all,

As you may know I have been on a killer assignment for the best part of a month. It is done and I am trying to get caught up on my 'Cat obligations. I have read this thread from top to bottom and am saddened that I cannot attend what I believe will be a great time. I completely understand Neil's concern, and I applaud him for expressing it. However it seems to me that you have covered the appropriate bases. And has been said, Heaven help the eejit who would mess with one of our 'catters.

Big Mick
