Disappointing...very. That wasn't a letter so much as it was an acceptance speech at the Rotary Club. What gives?! We're on the case though. Keep on keeping on. A quote I noticed today that's so a propos you: "It takes rough seas to make good captains." Aye, aye, oh cap'n my cap'n! From the Golden City of Praha, ADM Ian,

Good on you for sending the letter. If he doesn't listen to the people then perhaps he needs to hear the message a little louder. Want to ignore us? Enjoy your only term in office Rudd and co.

I get it, CP is illegal, that much is abundantly clear, but thinking of the internet as 'downloadable content' shows a serious and dangerous lack of understanding.
