Indeed - however, my perhaps slightly grumpy reply to your email was
based on an impression of over keen-ness to dismiss my message without
reading it (!) and a - dare I say it - one size fits all presentation of
"here are the hoops to jump through". Now I spent a reasonable amount of
time preparing the message and its attendant test case - and a comment
such as your based on *not reading it* ...errrm... well lets say I think
we can/should do better.

I am concerned that the deafening lack of any replies to my original
message is a result of folk glancing at your original quick reply and
thinking... incomplete problem spec...ignore... when that is not that
case - yes I should have muttered "9.2" in the original email, but we
have covered that now.
