I'm assuming anybody would want you, but a friend was rejected from Australia because he screwed up the paperwork. Their loss. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's. I hate spam.

I think that's the right attitude. For me it's based on my religion, got to live with the government whether we like it or not, and got to pay the taxes whether we like it or not. There's nothing wrong with moving away if things become too much of a load but on the other hand we need to support what our country was built on. I just saw a long movie about the fighting for independence, based on what really happened back then. Pretty sobering, what those guys had to endure makes all this stuff today pale in comparison. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.
