It appears to support the allegation, my two weeks of absence appears to be related to the
increase in postings, but in fact my absence amounts to approx 14 posts, 4% o fhte month.

and what about our Australian list ( a handful of kiwis make it an Australasian list) i made the difference? yeah right!!!
