Hello John,

Yea I guess I have to face the music and do it, but to be frank, I really,
really do not want to have to trawl through my contacts list and inform
everyone.  But I guess I have to at some stage.

'Cause then I will have to monitor the old address for a year or so, in case
someone doesn't change their contacts list, which most will not do I am
sure.

Hmm.

Mark
