Always nice to have some interest in 'my' test suite. I have been meaning to revise it, but haven't found the time ... its quite a time consuming and difficult exercise! Perhaps this discussion will get me going. I have quite a few emails about various positions saved (sorry to those who I didn't reply to), there are of course some incorrect ones although some of the ones you question here I hadn't had cause to doubt previously.
