Hi Emily,

What happened to 6, 7 and 8?  I'm particularly interested in 7!
I'd like to think that WordAloud can make people healthier.
My sig could become "access the word, access the wart" ;-}

BTW, you can download a free evaluation copy of WordAloud from
www.wordaloud.co.uk.

Cheers from Chiswick 

John
