Chris, Les posted yesterday in the Times Cryptic 28080, perhaps you could contact him there if he doesn't respond to your message.
Some time ago we talked about using the Cafe for this type of thread, perhaps we could post there as well.
The odd @ thread is OK, I can see that it will attract the person you are trying to contact rather than using the Cafe but I don't want them to snowball as they have in the past.
If Les responds to you, could you please transfer any chat to the Cafe then I could delete the @ thread. Thanks.
