Absolutely, and that's fine, but the OP cross-posted to
uk.rec.naturist (as is OP's current habit), and all OP's follow-ups,
including the one I responded to, seem to have been cross-posted to
uk.rec.naturist.
A certain amount of spillover and news is great, but when it seems
that non-UK material is being cross-posted to a uk. group _*as a
matter of course*_, I feel this is potentially unhelpful.
YMMV, as always.
