Graham,
If the forum was any quieter than it is I might think the world had ended like the Mayans predicted recently.The forum is turning into a pilot for a TV series called Dr.Sivana/Lex Luthor takes up Aikido'Between the dialogues about spirals/cyclones/ballet dancers /sun energy etc my brain is turning /has turned to mush.Perhaps I am spiralling out of control?Come back , Graham, all is forgiven.Cheers, Joe.
Ps Henry , if you read this can you throw a drowning man a lifebelt or even some red ribbons???

Don't worry I'll start a post on spirals and put some perspective on the subject for you. ;)
