Hey Paul!

 PH> Nice to get a converstaion going around this topic :-)

Are you of Scottish descent?  Word around this part of the world (Canada),
especially Nova Scotia which reports around 30% of the poplulation claiming
Scottish heritage, give the No side the edge.  Also the Quebecois are watching
the current Scotland rerferendum with special interest, although their last
referendum broke down to the Oui and Non sides instead of Yes and No.  Also
their question was far more convoluted then the Scottish one.

 PM> The motives behind the drive to support that goal has (I suspect)
 PM> been quite diverse. That's the interesting bit to me.

I heard more than a few blame Mel Gibson (Braveheart) for the current troubles.
 Stinkin' Aussies eh?  ;-)

 PM> Lastest reports here in New Zealand as I write this have 97%
 PM> reported to have registered to vote and strong turnout expected
 PM> today.

Same reports here although at this writing the polls have been open just shy of
4 hours now.

 PM> The last poll result I heard had the No ahead 52% to Yes 48%.

So far I haven't seen/heard any breakdown of the tally or turnout but they did
promise that the dust should be settling late tonight local time (Pacific
Daylight Saving Time).

 PM> Interesting 24 hours coming up - buckle up :-)

Loose and full of juice.  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice
