The idea was Chris's originally, but I will take the blame :-)

Seriously though, a lot of discussion has taken place and although the
chatter has subsided, the principle remains.

There is no one place that contains a complete archive of the
proceedings, but if you look at...
http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/irishbeekeeping/message/12579
and then follow the thread you will see one part of the conversation.

http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/santa_group/
will show you the archive of all of the associated discussions that took
place separately from the main list.

There has been no messages since June 2005, but I expect some revival of
interest now that winter is almost upon us.
