Dear Slug
Steven Blunts body has been found, you may have heard of a body being found
in the mountains and that was Steven. Below are what I pasted my friends.
Thanks for advertising.

Dear All
Still devastated but these links give some
information re Steven. I am glad Dee is here, she has been wonderful as
have Leona and James (from the US whom are staying with me) and at Church
they sadly announced Boy's death, and I whaled out really loud, so did Dee,
everyone came around and prayed, everyone, Dee is gutted too, we all are, I
spoke to Chris to tell him the news he was well considering but was sad to hear
the news. It is devastating, it is in the telegraph and herald today.
Love Tara The links r below!

Today Steven's body was identified in the Blue
Mountains area, so the hell of not knowing where he is is over, but the mourning
begins for the best friend I've ever known. I go from saying goodbye to a hero
in JP2 to the loss of my dearest friend ever!
For those who circulated emails and put posters up,
please remove. Those of you who are priests please say Masses in honour of
Steven Peter Blunt and all Christians pray for the family and friends.
Right now I am in complete shock, fluctuating from
tears to annoyance to anger to screaming etc, it is devastating.
When I hear more news I will let you know. What a
interesting visit for Leona and James with all the deaths they've encountered on
their visit.
Vale Boy I love you!
Please pray.

Subject: Missing Person who has written to your
discussions Dear Slug
I am a friend of one of your discussion persons
Steven Peter Blunt, who I have pasted the posts of his below. I am not into
Slug, but Steven is missing so I would like to ask if you could ask around if
anyone has seen or met up with Steven. I have enlcosed the website for his
missing poster which is www.ozreunion.com
which he is on. I am writing on behalf of his mother. Steven is suicidal and has
been missing since the 6 March 2005, was last heard of in the blue mountains. If
you happen to see him please contact the details on his advert.

I'm fairly sure that the IT deficit isn't a government deficit but a trade deficit. Not really the government's job to fix IMO, tho Pauline would probably tell you otherwise.

RMS has an article on this somewhere, but the basic idea is that the majority of programmers are not employed creating retail proprietary software (ie for companies like MS), they are employed in things like service intergration/consultancy and supporting in house applications. Open source would lead to more of these programmers, not less, since companies are able to rely on their own programmers to support Linux rather than relying on MSs programmers to support Windows. |
