I did wonder if Stuart was ill but complaints have been going on for years
about his failure to reply, and someone must (?) be paying for his website.

I last heard from Stuart in Jun 99. We kept in touch on quite a regular
basis. Stuart was always very helpful, and definately of "good
character", and it surprises me that this situation has arose. One must
not forget that something may have happened to Stuart and hence his lack
of response, or update - even to the web page.

Not according to current UK copyright law you can't. The owner or his
