You are quite right Christian,
To give some history, after the IRTC was down for about a year. Steve 
Paget (you may remember St) decided to give something back to the 
community. He contacted a web developer in his town and commissioned 
TC-RTC. So the web site is owned by Colin and we only use it. When Steve 
died a couple of years ago I contacted Colin and said that I would be 
willing to keep it running and Thomas de Groot kindly agreed to assist 
in the running of the site. (I say assist but Thomas does all the work.)

faded Colin has lost some of his enthusiasm for maintaining it.
We have not bothered him too much with change requests. Partly because 
he does not give it a high priority (that means that he does not answer 
emails) and partly because the costs are minimal so you get what you pay 
for. We are a small group and most of us know the limitations and just 
live with it.

So that is it in a nutshell. If you can think of a practical solution we 
would be pleased to hear it.
