Dear Alice ...[there must be one hidden somewhere in Wonderland]
Pleeese be careful not to encourage negative national caricatures. I know some of the nicest, most thoughtful and helpful people in the world are Americans, and some do not have any of those traits.
We Australians have amongst us those who are grasping for anything and everything, but lots of others who really do believe in a fair go.
Hopefully that attitude of 'a fair go' will continue to be the ethos of this board. I have seen and witnessed real generosity of spirit, which brings out the best in everyone.
Long may we continue that-a-way
