John - the only clicky I clicked on was the first one where I had a ball reading the questionnaire. You & I posted at the same time so I didn't see your .gov clickys until later.

Anyway, I think I'm already on some dodgy US list. One night I came home to a strange message on my answering machine. I think it was a recorded message & my machine started recording part of the way thru the spiel. I was urged to call an 800 number & I was a tad amused - we can't call 800 numbers from Oz - who did she (or the person operating the recorded message) think they were calling? And what was it about? - what I assume started as a carefully constructed spiel did not make sense cos most was missing!

You have the Patriot Act, we have the Sedition laws so THEY could be watching both of us.
