Hmmm -- on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 
11th month, we in Oz have Remembrance Day ... 
marking the end of WWI, a war in whcih between 
50,000 and 60,000 Australians (well, Australian 
residents, a lot of them were immigrants) died. 
In fact, more than twice as many Australian died 
in WWI than in WWII. Amazing carnage in WWI.

Cheers (or something), geoff
