Alf,
"workshy fops, career building guttersnipes and those technically challenged"? One could easily take offence to those kind of remarks, however, I'm sure you mean well? The reason I decided to develop my own IMD was nothing to do with personal gain, just to make life easier for everyone. The person who covers for me while taking annual leave etc, has no problem what-so- ever keeping everything up-to-date. Also, as anyone who looks after an EL would have to have some technical knowledge i.e. IT, then surely any computerised system is acceptable?
