very cool. useful too.  looking forwards to when we get a links tab or something so these don't get lost down at the bottom of the pit

Yes D, isn't it just an excellent site, I've also posted the address a few times on bA, posting it a few more times can only be a good thing !!
They do have some really amazing samples, all of them created by and submitted by the members.
