Ahh...(!?)
Hi Ruy.
You're perfectly right. I had you confused with another mailing list contributor entirely. I apologise for any confusion this may have caused.

You missed the point, Pete Skyring. Deserving, perhaps, but no, that was meant for everyone else; I don't hold myself to the same standards as I expect others to adhere to. As in the hypocricy you have for long cited me in being guilty of. As in the interchangeability between vanity and humility. Linking self-aggrandizement to sophistry. And other nonsensical jibberings: those who actually thrive on animosity and pain. Bad poetry.
Nevertheless, it is one deserving of your embrace. Peter in Canberra

No I didn't. I was making a point for you, but I don't think you've worked it out yet. I'm not a troll, I'm not a vandal. I speak the truth as I see it. I accept that I can make errors and I accept correction when it is valid. If I have a major flaw it is that I am far too quick to point out the flaws in others, and to take pleasure in doing so, the amount of my pleasure in direct proportion to their level of arrogance.
The Prime Minister of Australia sees the Governor-General as Australia's head of state. That's not my opinion, it's the opinion of the head of government, and it's not up to you or any other editor to deny it. Furthermore, it's not just the Prime Minister of this country, it is senior members of both parties. Simon Crean, during his time as Leader of the Opposition also called the Governor-General the head of state. You have the leaders of both of the major parties in Federal Parliament saying the same thing.
That doesn't make the Governor-General the undisputed head of state, but one point you don't seem to have grasped is that there IS a dispute. Not between you and me and any other editor; our opinions don't matter a damn. There is a diiference of opinion at the highest levels of national leadership.
And now, if you look at [[Government of Australia]] we see that someone else has stuck his head up and pointed out what I've said for the past six months, and they have provided verifiable sources, as I did. And surprise, surprise, we see the same mindless reverts and the same threats coming from the same editors.
I say that you should assume good faith, Mister Admin. That's my point.
Can I ask people (El C in particular) to keep the 'Re:' in the subject line please? I don't want five threads on the same topic, thanks.

Mailers don't use the presence of "Re:" in the subject line to organise threads. Provided the user replies in the usual manner, it shouldn't matter if the subject line is modified, in this respect anyway.
However, El C's last post didn't contain an In-Reply-To header, which is the actual cause of the new thread.

I have a feeling Dan was referring to Gmail threads, which do get mucked up.

Yes. And a lot of people use Gmail on this list - so please, keep the subject unchanged.
