Bruce: I'm sure we would all appreciate it very much if you could filter
and pass on some of that "continuing stream" here on autopsy. Also, do the
dockworkers or friends have a web site where this stream is being
archived? The Mersey dockworker site is very useful; if there is not one
in Australia, maybe they'd be happy to channel the flow into their own
site?
