I promise, if we ever meet in person, I will make all your cookie dreams 
come true ;)

Although this is the norm on OTRS, I use a real-sounding nick there 
rather than my real name.  I was not happy with being so public (I have 
quite a distinctive name) so Jimbo agreed that I could become "Lisa 
Carter" for the purposes of answering this mail.  I'm sure a similar 
arrangement can be made for anyone else as paranoid and suspicious as me ;)


I've a nice little pile of mugs^Wgenerous volunteers now - I will be 
talking to Jimbo and elian about this as soon as I see them.  Thanks folks
