Perhaps I'm too old to 'get' the joke, however I've been horrified to read what I hope are supposed to be tongue in cheek comments about Grant Watson. And even if there was any truth to the rumours, we don't have the French justice system - here in Australia there is a presumption of innocence.

The hideous reality of people publicly making such comments, whether in jest or not, is that some mud always sticks, no matter how innocent / exonerated a person may be. The courts are starting to get very serious about such postings, anyone doubting this would do well to read page 17 of today's West Australian newspaper (Thursday 25 February 2010) - it's just cost a coward - sorry - anonymous blogger, $30,000 plus costs in the WA Supreme Court.

Greg, please ignore. There

Greg, please ignore. There are some goings on behind the scenes and we are aware of the issue (we being Grant, myself and Jeff). My advice, and I'm sure the others will agree, is to ignore and don't stir the pot; and naturally to make use of the moderation function as you see fit.
