    quote > "from people *like* steve"

    and before you continue threatening people's jobs, how about you list your full name and occupation. please.

    I'm just hoping the main point about transparency in the case of more political edits doesn't get lost here.

    absolutely. one of the reasons i keep using my real name in forums, despite the arrival of numerous veiled email threats from people like "steve", is that i want to keep my actions transparent.

    i'd advise my public service colleagues in parliament to do the same.

    It's also COMPLETELY MISGUIDED.

    There are multiple people behind that address. I very strongly suspect that the IT guy is not the one making the edits

    and frankly, the suggestion that public servants should be prevented from using social media like wikipedia is both miserly and mean.

    how about running that wiki-user-checker over the bnz or state insurance?

    those guys are spending your coin too.

  • Hard News: The drugs don't (always) work,

    sue:

    there is a difference between feeling depressed and experiencing full blown depression

    i think that's the main lesson i've taken away from this issue thus far.

  • Hard News: The drugs don't (always) work,

    i'll admit to finding this entire thread very brave new world.

    "chemical imbalance?! try levi-chem! the new wonder pill from pzitzer!

    pzitzer (R); balancing your chemistry since 1984"

    i think 81st might have struck the nubbin of the real issue.

    Perhaps a bit left field, but much of the angst around this issue has not been helped by the modern marketing of prescription drugs in the wider population.

    the drugs in question do work for lots of people, but the big players are doing their best to medicate absolutely everyone...

    downers for your chihuahua anyone?

  • Hard News: They don't make 'em like they…,

    i too loved netscape.

    internet explorer was, is, and always will be, poo.

    i'm proud to say firefox is the only PC app i'll use.

    unless communicating with microsoft to download updates and the like. because they won't talk with anyone else...

    d.i.c.k.s

  • Hard News: Not so much ironic as outrageous,

    a lot more genetic influence over how you look and sound, than your choice to pick up a baseball bat

    well, i'm inclined to agree. but genetics do have a lot of influence over the way that socialisation plays out.

    being a tall skinny kid pretty soon resulted in my realising the fruitlessness of violence, no matter how angry i became... while i was bigger violence paid dividends, but as soon as the other guys bulked out it was no longer an option.

    and i was smacked by my parent.
