I've got absolutely nothing against Australians as a matter of fact I admire them. If the way they are presented to us back here is correct, they remind me of the way people were in this country fifth years ago but with some added technology. People that believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, are willing to die to defend it, and to defend their country. Not a bunch of complainers that can find nothing better to do than to complain about their email coming in an hour instead of minutes when it could have come from the other side of the world. Let the flames begin. Jerry
