It wouldn't work for the same reason that you should never rely on email as a means of communication, because you can never guarantee anyone has got it until they reply to it, if they do.

Read and delivery receipts aren't reliable, as you can deny them (as I do.)

Being able to deny read receipts can be switched off in outlook corporately. We have no choice but to send back read receipts for all those that have requested them at work. All rather academic as we're talking about calling an ambulance via email, which aint going to happen!

Really you wouldn't want to be relying on the NHS to give you assistance via email, your ambulance would turn up at about the same time that their all singing and dancing database is finished.............

Well I personally wouldn't want to live in a country that hasn't got a similar service.

That was a sweeping statement, my actual thoughts are that they treat major illnesses very well but need to improve virtually everywhere else. People always say 'we should be grateful to have the NHS' and I am, but it needs to be better.

Let's return to topic!

I asked for a flat screen monitor, a load of books and dvds and some excellent headphones which are furry like earmuffs. It's my birthday in 3wks so anything I don't get now I can ask for then...

Not really yet, I play at uni but I'm not on the Team yet. I'll be trying again next year, hopefully with better luck.
