Hahahaha wow, didn't realise atheists were such a fastidious and anal-retentive bunch. Is it too late to swap back sides? Just kidding, I can see what you did there.

The threat of virtual corporal punishment has me quaking in my boots - there, proof that it does work! I guess an atheist commandment is 'thou shall not make a spelling or grammatical mistake.' Father, I will not sin again...

Best of luck with your entry MM, it seems pretty good.

Hope you get to front up at the GAC, methinks you'd get a lot out of it.

Thank you, I think that too. It is a veritable intellectual smorgasbord. I can't wait.

Hello, MM, welcome to forum. I did related english back in the old HSC, turns out I was possibly the only engineer in australia to do so (well, the only one I had met), a reason why us engineers were such an unimaginative bunch lol...... You seem to be quite a good writer.

Pffft, creativity. What has that ever been useful for? Good to hear that there is a niche market of imaginative engineers, a rare breed I presume from your sentiments. Thank you, I enjoy it immensely.

I seened it.





Didn't read it though, rather wait for the paper copy. Curses, that didn't play out like I planned.
