You can't have had a discussion with a member of the South Australian Senate since the upper house of the South Australian state parliament isn't called the Senate, its called the Legislative Council. </pedant> :) -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
