I've reviewed what you sent on 2009-02-13. Looks spot on.

I confess I've lost the state on this a bit. Have you already checked they 
now link? If so then there's no need for me to duplicate that check.

README will do for beta.  Should be looked at more before final though.

As Alex may or may not have told you separately it only looked like that 
because the page wasn't customised for those in the 'testresults' group. 
Going direct to https://farm.ecoscentric.com/tfq.cgi would have worked, 
but Alex has now customised http://farm.ecoscentric.com anyway so it 
should all be hunkydory.
