| 14.05.01 When the site was launched I got quite a few
comments like the one below
"Hi Michelle, There seems to be some mistake with the link ... is the
domain name missing ?"
The problem was that I had given people the wrong URL,
silly me. Thanks to all those that wrote and told me about my mistake
14.05.01 My first positive comment
"..... really enjoyed it !. .. specially the shot of you in Action in the
marathon !... I was dead impressed !"
Thanks, actually I was very slow in that race and it was
a half marathon not the real thing
21.05.01 From my uncle in law
"I found your website quite fascinating and the links useful, particularly
the natural history ones etc.. Your hobbies and interests must clearly take up
a great deal of time. I remember when I was working and was asked to account
for my time, more than 168 hours in a week earned no "Brownie Points"
and was considered boastful. You cannot have much time to spare. In spite of
that I hope to see you and David down here before the summer is out."
This one is from Uncle Geoff, who is a retired consultant anaesthetist, but has a surprisingly large knowledge of natural history. He
lives in Falmouth and is angling for a visit this summer....we will visit you
uncle!
21.05.01 From an orienteering friend
"Nice site! Couple of typos though: "Dave’s week and fair
weather sailing wife" (surely marriage should last more than a week?; and
if you're intending to run a marathon in 3003 then I'll be VERY impressed.
(Well, my ghost will.)"
Thanks, for proof reading the pages, you are the first
person to find errors!
15.06.01 From my PhD supervisor Martin
Very impressive! Just one suggestion- any chance of getting a close-up of a
seedling?

20.06.01 From a real web developer, Tim Smith, who is also an
orienteer and a mathematician
Your website's looking good - lots of nice easy to find information which makes
a change from a lot of sites out there.
Thanks Tim. Still wish I could do good graphics though.

20.06.01 From John Last publisher of our excellent
orienteering news letter
I looked at your web site and of course it's very interesting and well
constructed. I am honoured to see that you put a link to one of my silly pages.
I never got any reaction to this so I don't know what people think of it.
Thanks John, an uncharacteristically polite correspondence

26.06.02 From the Webmistress Sibylle Machat
Hey, just saw that you put a link to www.andybown.com on your site and wanted to
say thanks for it ........ . Thus : Thank you!)
No probs, great site, front page particularly excellent!
30.09.03 From Ian Meadowcroft - runner who used to work with
Dave
Michelle - I enjoyed looking around your web site - nice one. And what a picture of Neville!
Re sailing - how about ditching the Wayfarer and getting a
470? We sailed on one ages ago (having an enteprise at the time) and it was a
really great experience - trapeze and all that, but fairly stable and fast
without being silly.
In fact another idea - why don't you steer and let Dave
hang out? This is how we did it and found the whole thing more fun that
way.
We had a laser for a while but it was a one person business
and that didn't suit us really (though it was a lot of fun when the wind was
right).
Now we've got a canadian canoe for paddling to the
pub.
Sorry, coudn't get to the Neville's birthday but appreciate
the invitation. Aaah I see you're after comments on your web site. It's
great but who is Bob Dillon? I have heard of someone called Bob
Dylan.... It's Allison Hirst, not Alison (Otmoor Challenge page).
That's it, I'm leaving now.
Yep Nev looks great dosent
he? The sailing debate continues..... Spelling mistakes
sorted! Keep the comments coming.
