Yes Steve I can't keep a secret from you. You know the trader.

Sorry about the delay on the pouch I was too involved in fending off Scam-mail
and watching a magnificent victory by Liverpool F.C. in the Champions League.
Story of my life - distracted whilst another golden opportunity goes begging.
But I would never ask anyone to renege on my account. Let the chap have his
prize.

Easter Island is fascinating. Maybe Fernando could tell us about it.
