Thanks for pointing that out Kent.

It probably explains why they send me a Restricted HTTP error.
I was going to try fooling them by messing with the http headers
but I'll find a friendlier web site... The reason for trying to use
Google was that they do offer an XML/RPC route in and I
was intending to go on to show how much easier a proper
API was.

Oh well, another bright idea bites the dust.

PS I didn't actually intend to send the draft to the group
but hit ReplyAll out of habit. It was only meant to go to
Nick... But in this case it's probably as well I did!
