Thanks for the welcome. And no worries about the reply from MKG. I'm sure that, in the words of the great Nanny Ogg, he's just an old softy really. I'm giving away half my roses and hopefully moving most of the rest to the orchard. I figure if I put them in among the fruit and veg they'll do two thi...

Ms. Sykes (15 papers and not one of them referenced) and then tell us that there are actually hundreds of them, but you don't reference any either. Of course. My apologies. Try http://www.reflexology-research.com/Abstracts.html as a starting poi...
