Ah, you'll be right mate. Being myself of the contrary extraction, Jamie
Six himself calling our good selves a "proud, obstinate, disobedient race",
and that in itself 400 years ago, yet out here in The Antipodes for a good
five generations now, we tend to be patient . . .

One thing you learn about computers early is that they are unreasonable,
yet for all that quintessentially logical. It is the logic that confuses us, as
we e-mail each other on our own merry way expecting the medium to be
like us, like the local postman expected to know everybody.

Let's know how you go with it.
