Hey...PLAY NICE !!! I  was trying to figure out the quote feature....and only saw what had happened once the message appeared on the screen, I then went back and tried to fix it...ahh why bother.

To GAP The point was in response to Wesley Down Under`s previous statements.

So let me see...your source of information is an Australian journalist, who probably like the majority of people who critized SA have never even visited the country and feel that because they watched a Discovery Channel article on SA they are emminently qualified to be taken seriously. I can...
