This was posted to another more general equine list that I belong to  
and Graham said to go ahead and forward it here.  Graham is a legit  
techie who lives in Australia (Canberra) and is interested in endurance  
there.  I, for one, would love to see other people than the UAE  
developing database systems just to keep the playing field a bit more  
level.  The computerised system that the UAE gives out so freely has a  
number of shortcomings that I have been able to see in its use here and  
is very possible to fiddle.  So Michael et al, give him an email and  
see what you all can come up with. You'll like him.
