oh I see...what today had been all about now...doing a big 'multi-channel crawl' through past, present and future...to find 'whateveritwas' out....something that I am normally spared...not being a sort of 'hub' eh, BI ONLINE....a bit like that circuitry board owned by mostow....and yes, it had looked very much like one of those 'planetary affairs'....see previous notes upon stenson's board....Solihull late 70s/early 80s.....

anyway, yes having to  be a 'hub' isn't fun, I can tell you....with such a wide 'search area'....far easier to stand right at the back of the line...until it has all percolated through....and then put up the 'condensed' form of 'whateverithappenstobe'...go figure...and yes, the absurdity of all of the details...but rather like forensics...you never quite know...what might be important and what might not be...
