<p>I've been reading a few forum posts on the various news services here in Australia. Alot of EO the&nbsp;W talk, but also alot of common sense disscusion, I'd say the (for want of a better term), good/bad ratio is about 50:50, which is a fair result. The amusing thing that stands tall, when you read the comments, stuffed full of anxiety and religious scare mongering, is that the people posting the letter, are using a - wait for it - computer, hooked up into the - oh most ungodly&nbsp;- internet. Hah.</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
