Whoa there, big feller.  In my original statement, I was alluding to this
echo's apparent lack of content (and obliquely to the subject line of your
discourse with David).  :)

That's right.  It'll never succeed here.  The hens won't lay properly, etc.
And, the poor farmer will be forced to work longer hours than he does at
present.  And, then he'll miss the (national) ABC TV 7 o'clock news of an
evening (the farmer's friend almost) because it'll be on an hour earlier...
etc, etc...

Been there, done that many times in past referendums.  We don't need it in
Queensland, besides, since there's already too much damned sunlight as it
is.

Cheers,
Paul.

... Docs?  Why would I want to look at the Docs.  Nurses are better!
