Mia, this doesn't sound harsh to me, and as I am currently ... <rant>...in the position of just starting to dig my way out of a month's backlog of e-mails because I have been devoting all my spare time during that period to completing a few projects about which some might say, "well surely it's not that hard to...", I feel more than a little irritated by those who expect time to be donated for free by others, when they are not offering to take on any such work themselves. </end of rant> Phew, that's better.
