    Battle of Tank Stream —Richard Parsons
   Righto guys, This is so draft that its extremely unworthy, but I'm guessing some joint work will sort it out post haste. I won't bother commenting out the bits that I think are ok, the bits that are bones, and the bits that hardly exist at all - it (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au.nsw.syd)
