    Any word from JMA? Anyone heard from him since November? I hope nothing's happened, but fearing the worst...

    Rest easy. JMA is working away from home into next month; we exchanged emails just before Xmas. I don't think he has time to view SWC, but does pick up emails.

    That's great to hear. Thanks for the quick update. Given the nature of the work of many folks here, when someone drops off the 'net for a while, you're never sure what happened. I know JMA's operational days were quite some time ago, but you still wonder.

    Thanks again

    I don't recall seeing it mentioned anywhere, but will there be an electronic copy of the book available?

    I'd be surprised if the JMA team would go that far. Originally the project was envisaged as a book for ex-RLI members and families, hence the small print run and being sold privately.

    Anyway JMA will appear here one day to give the answer.
