Peter, sorry about the prior post...I messed up and thought it was a new release dated August 22, today, rather than the actual date of July 22. :-(

Peter,

Thanks for the welcome! I've enjoyed following your posts and interests as a longtime lurker, will enjoy opportunity to interact.

Nice lymphoma site that you posted, answers my question. Seems they're paying more attention to keeping the clinical trial info updated on their website than is CLTR. I'm also experiencing problems getting to the CLTR website, unable to access the site right now. Wonder if they pulled the sie over the weekend 'cause some SI agitators were questioning the completeness of data there... ;-)

I wonder if you or some other fine citizen here might be so kind as to answer an SI newbie question - how is it that you get italics or other font niceties into your posts? My initial attempts so far have been futile, tried copying text from MS-Word into SI on IE5 browser and the only special feature I got was some garbled characters (quotes and dashes transformed into question marks), without the desired italics being preserved...

TIA, Regards,
Gordon
