I'll tell you why:
* Because we're close. Most of us have met face-to-face, I think. So it's
probably true of a lot of the smaller loc's, but LUGNET tends to notice it
with Australia.... for some reason. ;-)
* Because we don't have a Legoland and we deserve one - so we spend a lot of
the time sulking.
* Ditto for S@H. ;-)
* Because loc.au is mostly free of "dorky compartmentalisation", and
blissfully so. It's the only place we can have decent variety in our
conversations without having some Smart Feller FUT'ing it away somewhere
(yes, I use NNTP, and no, using the web interface is too slow).
* Because in loc.au we have at least a snifter of a chance of "spicing up"
the conversation with an innuendo, double entendre or not-so-PC comment
without tripping over some 'murkans moral-socio-political safety alarms. Not
that we do so very often, but that's not the point - it's the opportunity
that counts.
* Because we have a rampant inferiority complex.
So you can stick that in your FAQ... or not. But if you do, you have to use
ALL of it!!!
Yes, of course you can paraphrase. Hey, I'd like there to be at least a
_chance_ of it getting in the FAQ... ;-)

P.S. I reckon Turkey would consider itself an entity separate from Lugnet
too... if Selcuk got off his bum and recruited some more Lego fans... (I'm
sorry, I'm just joking, really I am!!! A curse on this political
correctness!!!)
