The document is being edited
I think that is incompetence rather than malice, but the document seems to also be at
alliance.org site
and a few other places on the net. -
I dont see what is stopping Jackson from *employing* his cast
Brendon, you might want to look back through the archives and follow the developing discussion over time, but I'm fairly sure that A.E. members have at no stage been asking to be employees.

Step away from the Trotter, Mister King. It causes hair loss, blisters, infertility
So he's made from dishwashing soap?

then tasted a full spoon of the dishwash
the spirit of Newton lives on
I tooke a bodkine gh & put it betwixt my eye & [the] bone as neare to [the] backside of my eye as I could: & pressing my eye [with the] end of it (soe as to make [the] curvature a, bcdef in my eye) there appeared severall white darke & coloured circles r, s, t, &c. Which circles were plainest when I continued to rub my eye [with the] point of [the] bodkine, but if I held my eye & [the] bodkin still, though I continued to presse my eye [with] it yet [the] circles would grow faint & often disappeare untill I removed [them] by moving my eye or [the] bodkin.

...is a standing joke...
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
Sounds like someone is moving from stage two to three. Victory is within sight.

here--rinsing dishes and The Hobbit. I wonder what the connection is.
both have an unpleasant aftertaste.

anything else that evaporates, after being diluted 200:1, left a completely unnoticeable residue
Yes, well really what did you expect. After all, you didn't hit the sink with a leather bladder seven times to potentise the water (or whatever it is homeopathy does).

OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Detergent-researching

definitely rinse off. the detergent causes diahrroea in sufficient doses.
This would be sufficient doses in the yard glass sense then. I think you would be far, far more likely to get something inducing diarrhoea from the food on the plate rather than any detergent residue.
The standard refutation of this is that there are regions of the world (such as parts of Australia) where water is short, and people are actively discouraged from wasting it on spurious rinses. But there is no evidence of increased diarrhoea.
I going to except those people allergic to soap from that, because if the skin of your hands becomes a bleeding mass from washing the dishes, you probably don't want the same thing happening to your internal skin. On the other hand, if you can wash dishes without pustules forming, the residue on the plates at the end won't hurt you much.

In both education and film disputes, communication of what those key conditions are has been appallingly inept
While the education dispute could be being pursued better (clearly articulating the clawbacks under threat, capitalising on mendacious public comments like "Schools are funded for a class size of 17") it could also have been a lot worse- I thought the line about not wanting to go down the path of countries with a worse education system, instead favouring a evidence based strategy was good (though in effective language terms I'd say fact based, even though it is actually less accurate it is a better understood term).
The dispute on the NZAE on the other hand... Well the people who have probably benefited most are Warner Bros (for being able to shift the production to somewhere they can make more money with NZAE taking the blame) and the Government (for having a convenient scapegoat to blame for losing the hobbit).
