Panza. I couldn't agree more with you, glad that I'm not the only one to feel this way.
To Goroundflap: You may have proved yourself in a battle, but a battle is only a small part of a war. It's who wins in the end that matters. Because you have been bloodied once, you and all the remainder of the 89 dispute people are scared to fight again. Therein lies a large portion of the problem. I'm not totally unsympathetic to your position, but sometimes you have to go into battle more than once in your life to achieve what you want. Sure you can take the safe and easy option ie.CC and WOE but that ain't going to make this crowd sit up and take notice. No !you may just have to dig down really deep to find the courage to do what is required. But you are right, if there was a walkout, I'll guarantee the first one to scab would be an Aussie
