"My original intention was to generate a web site that included as much as "+
"possible about the history of the twinning between St. Ives, Cambridgeshire, "+
"England and Stadtallendorf, Hessen, Germany. Although it's very likely that I "+
"will - eventually - complete this, there is no doubt that other things will "+
"appear, or even get in the way. I may even get some of the pages twinned into "+
"German.<br><br>Of course I have no wish to duplicate work that has already been done (and I "+
"don't have the time to anyway), hence the links on the opening page.<br><br>"+
"Although the site attempts to set a cookie it doesn't matter if you reject it "+
"since it's only a counter on your side. "+
"The <a href=\"http://www.1und1.de\" target=\"_blank\">site host</a> gathers detailed "+
"statistics. But the only time I'd be sure who you are is if you send me email. "+
"And although I'll read it, I don't promise to reply. The site privacy pages can be found "+
"<a href=\"privacy_main.asp\">here</a>.<br><br>"+
"I used to run this site on Linux hosting but have switched over to Windows hosting. "+
"The site is produced using Microsoft<sup>&reg;</sup> Expression<sup>&reg;</sup> Web Designer. I "+
"have tested the site with Firefox 8 and IE8. Comments on other browsers are <a href=\"browsers.asp\">here</a> ."
