Some of you kind folks have already interpreted my cryptic message re Karen,
who has now said she is happy for me to post the details. She has had a car
accident and has badly broken both legs, although otherwise ok, although
likely to be in hospital (and non-emailable) for 3 months. If you have not
already done so , please email me if you wish to send your wishes and I will
tell you where you can write to her.

For those of you who are mumbling 'off-topic' , Karen has been a member of
this news group for several years and authored some of the FAQs, so I think
deserves a post :-)
