Time to 'Inform' our MP's of just what is going on then?

I've been on the phone with Blizzard's researcher today. It seems someone at one school mentioned this issue to him and his assistants investigated a little. They soon discovered that "the problem was a lot wider than [they] had realised" and then Blizzard decided to ask his question in the House. Since then he's had "a lot of emails and phone calls" about the issue. She said that they were now collecting information from these messages---more than one person mentioned as an alternative something called "Linus"... By the way, if you visit his Website: http://www.bobblizzardmp.co.uk/ and click on the "Links" link, you get this error: <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%> <% Dim rs SET rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") rs.Open "SELECT * FROM press ORDER BY ID DESC;", objConn %> at the top of the page. Perhaps he should switch to an "Apacho" Web server? -- Damian COUNSELL http://www.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk/~dcounsel/
