Hi James,

Firstly it's a really very cool script.

The comments are excellent and I don't know that I can any longer claim 
authorship of it, I think you should put your own name and author and 
say something like:

"Based on a script provided by Steve Cookson" or something.  My script 
too would have been based on a script by Mark Dootson.

But it's really the logging and filtering that make it stand out, which 
would work on anything.

Thanks for everything.

Regards,

Steve.
