Lee! What happened?

Indeed what has happened I didn't think I'd posted that much and certainly not enough to knock Lee off his mantle.

Pete enjoy your trip look forward to see what you come back with.

I didn't think I contributed as much to 16 as I did either but it looks like the post counts were quite spread out amongst everyone.
