Off-Line Only for a Few Hours - I Hope - Maybe More

I am travelling to France today (airlines going bust willing) and will be off line until I reconnect via France Telecom.

Cuurently, I am finishing final touches to my paper: 'The Pre-History of Bargaining: a multi-disciplinary approach, for the European Association of Evolutionary Political Economy, in Rome 3-5 November (papers due in on 20 September).

Everything is done online and that's today's problem: I am having trouble registering via a password that is not recognised, nor are its replacements. Worse, we can talk by telephone but we cannot by-pass the system. I hope this gets sorted out quicker than the normal pace of evolution...
