Thanks Mark, i was just too angry to finish that, but a necessary evil all the same. I'm just heartbroken that the concept of sharing and the barriers that the internet has broken down between individuals are being reclassified as piracy by selfish gravy trainers like this munter Smith.

What's with the Telecom protection raquet ad up top? Yeah right they fixed my system. Bag men.

<quote>Can we ban the currency speculators already? I'm actually quite serious about this.<quote>
Would seem unreasonable, but we should never forget that it was the much lauded Labour Party who set that beast adrift.

it just makes too much sense.

Yes, and I know lots of people who derive innocent pleasure from, say, the occasional ingestion of marijuana. The law takes quite a different view of the two activities.
So true...
The operation ended yesterday, and Mr Glue said he was unable to reveal how much it cost, but the Westport News reported the helicopter cost about $1500 an hour to run - equivalent to $67,000 for the round-up.
Mr Glue said the arrests and drug seizures were evenly spread throughout the coast, with most involving class B (cannabis oil) and class C drugs such as cannabis. The most serious charge related to the possession of a small amount of LSD, in Greymouth.
$67,000! Under the rather incriminating headline:
Coast cannabis raids yield potent strain

A nice vibe from these guys, pretty well covered the topic.

My fault, I misread that latter sentence. (In fairness to me, you do sometimes put commas, in odd places.)
I smoke a lot, and my typist is pretty much putting it down, verbatim.

Yes I do Steve. Hence my use of 'police state' with the winky thing:
I was inclined to disagree, as we all know New Zealand is a police state and they really would imprudently start turning average Jonny's internet off pronto; )
The thing is I wasn't sure if Simon caught that, and may have thought I was suggesting NZ is a police state when in actuality I was having a go at the rhetoric. Then I started to worry that the winky thing is too old skool so I left it off this;
I'd have to disagree, that this kind of rhetoric, has been invaluable in disarming the passers of this legislation however temporarily.
which really ought to have a winky thing too in terms of intent, as it obviously wasn't clear to you. Lesson I have learned is 'just 'aim for the bowl, taslov, and avoid any mess''

I've retained much more of the French I started learning at about seven than the extra French from high school and uni, and almost none of the Russian I learned at varsity. I feel like it's much harder to learn new languages now that I'm old and my brain is slow.
I'd hesitantly suggest Emma, that a lot of what you perceive to be lost, has merely been holed up in the archives due to lack of practice. A solid month in the French Empire would jostle you back to match fitness.
