Thank you barbie, McEve for your kind words about the site, and thank you for continuing to do an excellent job keeping things under control whilst I am "bogged down".
Dave, thanks also for you positive comments it is greatly appreciated.
In answer to your question about he project plastic mac has identified, yes and no. There are two projects under discussion here, one of which is with plastic mac, which is the database. Plastic mac and his partner have very kindly offered to dontate a great deal of time effort and knowledge into creating a system that will hopefully give us an opportunity to analyse our "opinions" and experiences. As some of you may remember, Plastic and I had a rather shakey introduction when he arrived on the forum asking what use the stats pages where, and quite frankly he was right. Initially i was defensive, and then I realsied that he had a point. Which is why the stats pages have (apart from the register) have on hold. ( I am still accepting data just not publishing it) At that point in time we started discussing what could be required and he offered the services of his girlfriend. Let me reword that..
. He suggested that he and his girfirned could help out with a suitable database.This is still happening, but it is no small feat, and will take time.
The other project however is something that I have absolutely no control over the release of information. If a friend asked you for hel p in an matter and asked for it to be in confidence, it stiffles the ability to shout it form the roof-tops. I am also very weary about what I associate ZP with. It is difficult enough to keep it what it is without the it being associated with other activities. (if that makes sense).
What I would say right now is that there is only one ZP project currently running, and that is the DB. If anything else arises you will al be the first to know!
In refernce to the Zoo project, let me knwo where and when and I am sure I can find a few stripey things sitting int he back of one of my tanks.
