Well done, but what has this to do with Observatory, you may ask? It's very simple. The Southern Suburbs, it seems, are coolectively determined to rid our communities of crime. Networking is a vital component of this strategy. I have no greater desire than to conquer crime. I do not need a prick with a knife or or a bullet from a gun. Work together. We can do sooooo much more! Thanks to the police. A crime against one, is a crime against all. We all pay the price. Brian
