RE: ADSL Talk Proposal

actually, to be honest, I don't really mind if Simon plugs his company
somewhat. I suppose I was speaking for the silent masses. I'll try not to do
that in the future. However, having Simon and Mr Telstra there, with Simon
criticising Telstra as he is prone to do (probably quite justifiable) and
then the Telstra guy defending as you'd expect, could be ugly...

hmmm :)
