Exactly.

The fact that Jackie from Linux User phoned me about 10 times on
Monday/Tuesday tends to make me think it really is fairly urgent.

Unfortunately she was dialling my old Reading number, which goes
through to my mobile, which has an occasional tendency to switch
itself off, unprompted, so I got a lot of voicemail when I noticed that.

Cheers, Phil.
