    Well, I do seem to remember reading Mr NVA saying that one of the merits of a bake off would be to encourage such a response. It wasn't a question of winning or losing; it was the process.

    Er, no. I just don't have an axe to grind.

    One aspect of some forums, I've found, is that, at times, some people seem to a real problem with seeing past their own nose-end.
