If you see loads of these (DE DE DE) among the messages left by me before tonights draft chat (9th April), I apologise.
For a while there, every time I hit 'space bar', the chat room sent what I had written thus far, as though I had hit '<Enter>' instead. Since I was trying to write "DE<space>Derrick Harvey etc etc" all that was being sent was DE.
I had to come out of the chat room and go back in again to cure the fault.
