Excellent primer, Vangelis. I get the impression many people struggle 
finding PID information for major events such as the Olympics, 
Glastonbury, Wimbledon, etc. and this is a very well written guide that 
shows how to go about it.

You do yourself a disservice, Vangelis, there is a skill in 
communicating technical information in a step by step way that makes it 
easy for the layperson to understand. And there is also the matter of 
the helpful tone of language adopted - something that another place 
could learn from with its brusque style - and what's even more 
remarkable is that English is not your native language.

As they say in Star Trek "live long and prosper"!
